    Unable to install a PDF printer

    Until recently I had PrimoPDF installed and working as a virtual printer. I uninstalled. Now I can't get any PDF printer to install; actually doPDF installs but is not recognized as a printer. I've tried several PDF printer programs and none work. Any help would be appreciated.

    PS Voltages

    How important is the -5 voltage rail on a dual Xnon based system? A friend brought his system to me because he occasionally locks up. I installed SensorView; and all voltages look good except the (-5) volt is showing as -2.08 V. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks, Arthritic
