Guest R. McCarty Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Re: Unwanted Entry Regedit retains the last used key point. It's possible the default view when Regedit opens may be at a indented point so you do not see the HKey_Current_User category. Would need to collapse the open indentions by pressing the Left Arrow Key to collapse the view enough to see the main hives.

Guest John Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Re: Unwanted Entry In my opinion, as long as you know what is dangerous and what is not, it is OK.

Guest nass Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 RE: Unwanted Entry Hi, Either try to remove the entry from the start Up menu by going to the windows Explorer and locate this path: C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up = look in the right pane/window for the entry and Delete it. Or in the Registry Key: [-] HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run = Look in the right pane/window and remove the entry. If you want to remove the check box/Tick click on it once to deactivate it. Uninstall the Printer driver, then run Disk Clean up on your Disk and go to the Printer manufacturer website to download the latest Driver for it (same Specs) and reinstall it, pay attention on the option to install, you can elect to Custom install rather than Typical install. Make sure the system clean from malware and your Profiles/Account is not damaged or corrupted.

On the Event error properties message you will see: Up Arrow Down arrow Two pages Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
