Hi Mike......

Not to worry. I unchecked the *plain jane one*......not the HKCU one which
is Per-User Run. The plain jane is Machine Run....which does not mean sweet
*** all to me, grin. (oops, that wasn't the word you guys thought it was,
grin) Anyway, rebooted and no error, but it doesn't happen every time.

Have to head out to another town to pick up my car, so will catch up with
you later. Tried the printer and it worked fine and I STILL have this icon
in the lower tray which says Monitoring Preferences, Check Ink, etc.

Later I will pull all the cords out from the back of the CPU and figure out
which one the blue one is but I think it is attached to a Com Port thingie.
My eyesight is no longer the greatest, so will get a magnifying glass and
double check the *teeny tiny* imprint on the CPU connection.

XX for now.....Heather

I'll try and stick my R200 on my Win Me box later but that box is
unfortunately dead in the water at the moment. Nothing to do with Win Me
but a lot to do with the PC having crashed badly when the power cord got
inadvertently pulled out a couple of days ago. It won't restart at the
moment but I just don't have the time to check it out just now but
hopefully tomorrow sometime.

Heather,

And my icon in
the tray for checking the printer did not load.

Did you uncheck on of the registry entries for the printer? If so
then it could have been the tray icon. I don't have a tray icon
displaying here other than when there is a print job printing.

Not yet......one has the HKCU ending in Startup and the other
doesn't. I have always had the printer icon in the tray. On right
click, it is to check nozzles and the like. Which entry should I
take out of Startup?? The registry one or the plain jane one.

Not clear what you mean about two pins falling out? How are you
connecting your R200? Mine's a USB printer. The only pins I see are
where the lead from the transformer plugs in. Do you mean those
pins?

Oh dear.....(G). I have such a bleepin' mess of cords behind there
that I thought it was the printer....mine is a USB connection same as
yours. Have to pull this out and figure out what the blue connection
is with the two pins in it that you screw tight. Can't seem to get
it back right, but will get Ron to come and hold stuff so I don't
send the cpu crashing to the floor.....it is on top of a 2-drawer
file cabinet. Cat fur and cpu's don't go together, lol.

This spool error was there occasionally from after the try at an XP
install by me and before I unplugged everything to take this over to
Willy. So must be something stupid with the printer......not my
plugging stuff back in.

Hope this makes sense......Heather
