OK....confused as all get out. But I ran Regedit and Epson is where you
said, but under Run- (dash after it, but not in the plain Run one) in
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run .

This is the "Registry Per-User" one in Startup.....which ends in HKCU. I
will type it out.....

Registry (Per-User Run)
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\E_S4l2H1.EXE /P30 "EPSON Stylus Photo R200 Series" /M
"Stylus Photo R200" /EF "HKCU"


The one I unchecked just says the following.....
Registry (Machine Run)
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\E_S4l2H1.EXE /P30 "EPSON Stylus Photo R200 Series" /05
"LPT1:" /M "Stylus Photo R200"

Sorry Mike......I don't know much about the Registry and will go back and
recheck the latter one if you think it is wise.

I have also been getting a lot of VSOM errors on shutdown and that is the
next thing to tackle. I may just reinstall both Epson and ZAPro to see if
that cures it. I am really flying blind here. I will ask my ZA questions
in another thread.

Cheers.....Heather

Heather,

I thought I had explained in a previous post that the Machine Run entry is
almost certainly an entry in
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

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.
