Hpqthb08.exe is a part of HP Image Zone....the part that makes it load on startup. Since you don't need it loading on startup...and it apparently can't load anyway...go to Start>Run, type "msconfig" (without the quotes), click OK.
In the window that opens, go to the Startup tab, find Image Zone or hpqthb08.exe or any entry related to either and uncheck it. Click OK.
The next time you boot up, you'll get a warning message about using "Selective startup." Since you selected something not to start up, that's what you want. So click the box in the corner of that message window for "don't show me this again," then click OK.
