HI

I was installing a printer today and cancelled the install wizard and
manually added the printer. Now everytime I start my machine the wizard keeps
popping up even though the printer is already install.

How do I cancel this wizard that is running every time I turn my machine on?

When the Wizard pops up follow the prompts to complete the
installation and that should end it.

I finally had to do a search of my harddrive to find the missing file the
wizard kept hanging on. It was in windows/system32/spool/w2....

Once I found that file and stopped using the driver disk that came with my
printer the wizard stopped poping up.

Thank you for your help its all better now.

Even unplugging my printer, removing it and its drives and rebooting my
machine so the system didn't pickup the printer I still had the wizard appear
after I installed the drivers from CD and plugged the printer in.
