PattyL,

Thanks for the reply. This problem is taking off in a slightly different
direction. I was using msconfig to remove some of the startup items and
then restarted, which resulted in a BSOD. Fatal Exception
OE@0028:C027EA63 in Vxd VMM(06) + 00003A63. Looking that up seems to
indicate registry corruption. Same BSOD when I tried again to restart.
So went to Safe Mode and undid the msconfig changes. It came up ok then.

At any rate, it reminded me, the secretary did say that it BSOD'd one
day last week on bootup, with the same Fatal Exception OE. She rebooted
and it came up with corrupted registry message, it offered to load an
earlier copy, and so then it came up ok. Maybe we have a memory problem?
Think I'll run a memory test...any other ideas are welcome!

Thanks,
Larry

I would first try clean booting using the Msconfig utility to see if
something loading at Startup is causing the problem. See this article:

This just started happening last week. When I send one document to the
printer, to print one copy, initially it shows 1 copy of 1 page. But as
the document prints, the number of copies indicated keeps increasing. Have
seen it go as high as 56 copies, before cancelling the job. It will print
continuously unless I cancel the job.

Sending the document direct rather than spooling, seems to result in 1
document.

The printer is fairly new (HP PSC-1315v). I did try removing, and
installing the latest HP driver, but it made no difference.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Larry
