yes i was running as admin
i have tried to manually install drivers
and if remember right the code for the wifi was error code 1
and for the printer it was 23 or 28.
but this is happening for any new equipment i buy it wont load the drivers for some reason like the printer it loads all the software connects to the printer but just refuses to install drivers.

try remove/uninstall this device, start all over again with the HP NOT connected until being asked from the system. Check and see if u can get an uninstall utility from HP to clean up all dlls and files from previous installation
