SOLVED: For those having the same problem, here's what worked for me.

1. Copy both of the original files (HP Prime.xml and userDefineLang.xml) downloaded from http://www.hpcalc.org to the C:\Program Files(x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs directory.

2. Open Notepad++ and pull down the Language menu, and select "Define your Language".....

Well, I believe that many did not understand a detail I explained in a previous post, which should be causing problems.
The procedure that you did, though somehow it worked, it is not correct and not the simplest.I will explain the procedure, which is very simple.

1) Note that there is a website (http://www.hpcalc.org/details.php?id=7564) where you will download a file.
This HPLANG.ZIP file contains the following:
a) HP Prime.xml
b) HPLang.gif
c) userDefineLang.xml
What we need is to import this language. To do so, in Notepad ++, click "Define your Language".
Then click button IMPORTING .
Select the file userDefineLang.xml (unzip HPLANG.ZIP)

2) Now you need to download the HP Prime.zip file. (http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-5334.html)
This HP Prime.zip file contains the following:
a) HP Prime.xml
This HP Prime.xml file is different from the file with the same name as HP Prime.xml
This HP Prime.xml copy to C:\Program Files(x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs

So I was having issues with uploading the HP Prime languange and tried following these steps, but ran into some issues. First I could not find the API folder in the Notepad++/plugins. It took me a while but I found that if you activate the autocomplete in the Notepad++ like in the video, then go to the folder C:\Program Files\Notepad++\autoCompletion and paste in the HP Prime.xml file and restart the application that it automatically adds the language with autocomplete and tips. jrozsas has done an awesome job of tring to help us who speak english so thank you for taking the time to help.
