That file belongs to the HP Image Zone application, a program that is usually installed with HP printer software. It isn't necessary to have loading with Windows so you can remove it from your Startup. Of course, there could be other underlying problems such as malware infection causing your computer's slow-down; I don't have enough information about your computer to know. Start troubleshooting by removing the HP Image Zone from Startup and doing a thorough scan for malware. It's important to know you're working from a clean base.http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_MalwareStart>Run>msconfig [enter]This brings up the System Configuration Utility. Look on the Startup tab and find the probable culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, Apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Just tick the box that says in effect, "don't bother me about this again".Important - Do not use the System Configuration Utility to stop processes. Instead, use Start>Run>services.msc [enter]and do not stop any services unless you really, really know what you're doing.How to Troubleshoot By Using the Msconfig Utility in Windows XP -http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310560The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup -http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspxMS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!

Make sure you have the latest updates from Windows Update of the .Net Framework software. Read about core functionality for HP products athttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/829019/ hope this helps...
