HP media device extra diagnostics and tweaking tool... not vital for use of the devices. Can be safely terminated if everything already works to your needs.

It does nothing and can consume 95% of the processor time!

STATUSCLIENT caused an invalid page fault in

Anytime my computer slows down, Statusclient seems to be behind it, sucking up from 49 percent of the CPU on up

statusclient.exe is from HP, but turned into a colossal memory leak. It runs every 20 seconds or so, and doesn't release the memory it uses. I was losing 40 meg of ram an hour until I isolated the problem. I didn't suspect anything from HP. I've had the HP laserjet for more than a year, without any problems, so maybe statusclient got corrupted or hijacked.

StatusClient.exe has been hanging my system, so 3 days ago, I started manually shutting it down when I reboot the system, and everything has been running quite normally.
