    Tray app can be numerous different applications that automatically load into the Window startup process.

    Click on Start Bar

    Click on the Search Bar

    Type in "msconfig"

    Click on the Start tab. 

    You will see what would normally be the Start up applications and you can try to "review" which app is failing.

    Do you have an HP printer? Someone else said:

    when u r prompted to insert the disc, just insert your HP printer CD that came along with it..click ok..this should solve ur problem..

    if not uninstall the HP softwares installed on ur PC, restart and then reinstall.
