I've used Jouni Vuorio's regcleaner with great success on Win98, WinME and WinXP. My OS repairs always involve this to uninstall useless programs, remove partially uninstalled program names from the add/remove list and to remove invalid keys from the registry. It does a backup simultaneously...

My XP machine would never come out of Hibernation/Standby until I removed Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4 (came with my old burner). If you have older software (not just drivers for that hardware) that came with legacy peripherals (scanners, printers, etc.), make sure it has a patch for XP. There is...

run SIGVERIF and see if you have unsigned drivers anywhere. The latest drivers aren't necessarily WHQL certified.

Thanks SEsask, that's soft of what I was expecting. I wonder how the chain of contacts got around to Europe though... I suppose I'll never know. I did a McAffe scan and nothing is present on my side. I have all the Microsoft vulnerabilities patched and I don't open attachments even from...

In the last two days, I've gotten my regualar 2-3 spam e-mails in OE 6 (using a Hotmail account) but I've also received 100+ from Mail Delivery Subsystem with subject, "Mail delivery failed: retuning message to sender", an other similar failed notices. I'm not sending anything...

I fixed it by reinstalling the printer. First I removed the Printer from the Printers/ Fax and Other Hardware conrtol panel, then I restarted. When the New Hardware Wizard came up, I bypassed it's driver searching and went directly to the Lexmark driver executable and installed from Windows...

I may have it here. Board makers, ALi and VIA have just realeased ne USB2.0 drivers! Read the news at: http://warp2search.net/

We lived fairly happily with Word 2000 on WinMe and our Lexmark Z65 printer. But we got a new computer with XP Home and now she CAN'T print on her custom stationary even though we're using the same printer and word processor. The Print Preview looks fine on a document with the Page Setup...

That sucks! Have you tried to just remove the questionable UBS Controller from the Device Manager? If you disable it you probably won't get the error message. I wish I had a better solution, though sorry!

Make sure in the Tools>Options>Print tab, the option "Allow A4 paper resizing" is checked!

How bout your mainboard manufaturer's web site? My MSI mainboard has USB 2.0 and I have WindowxXP Home and the Hyperion chipset drivers provided by MSI give me no errors.

My wife wants to kill me. We lived fairly happily with Word 2000 on WinMe and our Lexmark Z65 printer. But we got a new computer with XP Home and now she CAN'T print on her custom stationary. The Print Preview looks fine on a document with the Page Setup for a 146mm x 195mm piece of paper...

Have you tried Cannon's online documentation on their web site? What about customer service from either Cannon or your vendor?

This technique is called "Ripping". "Burning" refers to CD writing, FYI! :)

FIXED IT. Turned out to be Win98 compatibility mode. Changed it to Windows 2000 compatibility and I get the same OpenGl support without the sticky exit process.
