Everytime I start up the computer after installing windows 7, I get this error message.
"HPUpgrade has stopped working" what is this? I tried to google HPUpgrade.exe error and even HPUpdate.exe and found no fix. Help.
HPUpGRADE or HP UpDATE? If it is HPUpdate, go into add remove programs and uninstall it. Go th HP's driver site for your model and redownload it and reinstall.
HP update is a program that is supposed to look for updated drivers and software from HP's site but it has not found anything recently for me so I don't use it. I just go to the drivers site and manually pick what I need.

Woohoo! I won my Touchsmart!
I did a system recovery, installed a clean install of windows 7 and it solved some problems and solved the lagging.
The error message is still there on start up! It says, HPUpdate. What is it?! I know I could just uncheck it on msconfig so it won't run on startup, but I want to eliminate this since I already started over. Anyone know how to fix this?
Here's a screenshot. 
HPUpgrade is the Windows 7 Upgrade assistant program from the upgrade DVDs. Since you're already on Windows 7, judging from the screenshot, you can disable this program from running on startup.
or better yet....go to your startup section in the start menu and navigate to the startup folder, go into it....right click the HPUpgrade icon and delete that sucker.

I have the same issue: following the upgrade from Vista to Win7 using the HP-provided disks, HPUpgrade (not HPUpdate) continues to run and fail at every startup (see CyreneQ's screenshot). In my experience with msconfig, disabling things there usually results in more windows to clear on startup rather than less (though it does the job). Since it doesn't show up in the Startup Folder, does anyone have another idea how to disable it?
This is the registry entry the tx2 upgrade utility uses to start itself on every user logon:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HPUPGRADEUTIL
Many thanks, GeekTieGuy!
Deleting that registry entry did the trick (plus I learned that msconfig can be used to identify and remove other pesky startup items like GoogleUpdate).
