Hi Guys,

This is my first post in this forum. I have read several posts and find that you guys are doing a great job with solving people's problems.

My OS is Windows 98. I have a new Lexmark X1100 series All in One Printer which was working fine till last week

Last week when I tried to print a document, nothing happened and my computer froze. The close Dialog box showed that msgsrv32 not responding and after ending that task RunDll32 was not responding....One by one all programs were not responding. So I had to s*** down and start. The computer became so slow that it took almost 30 minutes to reboot. However my printer does not print. I checked the connections, ports and all the possible fixes. I then uninstalled the printer and reinstalled it. It took a while to install with one error message " Add Monitor() parameter is incorrect."

I had to uninstall and reinstall atleast 4 times with no success. And in the meanwhile I had to manually shut down several times as the msgsrv32 and rundll32 were not responding.

I also noticed that my printer was giving out error messages that there is no communication between the computer and printer. I even changed the USB cable assuming the current one might be damaged. Still no success. I am clueless what to do next. Printer is very important part of our family as my children use it frequently for their school projects.

Any help guys !!!

I understand some of what is going on here, but am a little perplexed at the other

msgsrv32 not responding and after ending that task RunDll32 was not responding make sense...msgsvr32 handles system messages for the computer, relaying info from programs to the windows kernel...and rundll32 allows the system to access subroutines within dynamic link libraries.

These two errors are often seen side by side when a dll has become corrupted or been replaced by a rogue piece of software.

The long delay in reboot also points this way.


This: Add Monitor() parameter is incorrect."
is new to me. It looks like a script gone bad...ie the () is a variable being passed to the install function.

That leads me to believe that you may be trying to install the wrong driver.

We'll worry about that in a bit....the variable could be relying on the system file that has gone south.....

So....what to do from here.

If you installed a piece of software recently, I would first remove that. If not, I think you have been infected with something that did it.

So it seems the first course of action in to check that. If you have an antivirus program, run that.

If you have, and it detects nothing, download hijackthis and post a log here and we'll see if we see anything.

If that fails us, Do you have your windows cd, so we can reinstall missing system files.

Thanks gerryf. I will run HijackThis and post the log here.

This is a nightmare for the last 2 days as I tried everything. Did I mention that when I send a file to the printer, it takes a while before I get an error message from the Lexmark printer that the printer is not communicating with the pc. My USB port works fine because I checked with my handycam and there is no problem.

Anyways I will post the log file shortly aftr running HijacThis. Thanks for your prompt reply.

Follow the recomendations here, then post back with a new HiJackThis log

[gerryf]

nothing in there explains your problem though.....

do you have your windows cd?

[gerryf]

btw---how did you UNINSTALL the printer, as you mentioned in the first post

[bengaluru]

I unistalled by clicking the Uninstall button.

Yes I do have the windows CD

[gerryf]

uninstall button...as in, put in the printer driver cd, and it presented you with a choice to uninstall?


Looking on this cd, look for a folder called either support, or tools, or perhaps utility.

HP typically packs a driver clean up tool on its cds that can be used to uninstall driver remnants that may have been left behind.

After running the following : Adaware, Spybot, CWShredder, Panda ActiveScan and AVG Virus, the boot was very quick. However my initial problem exists. There is no communication from the computer to printer. Here is my log file. Your help is very much appreciated.

[bengaluru]

uninstall button...as in, put in the printer driver cd, and it presented you with a choice to uninstall?
Looking on this cd, look for a folder called either support, or tools, or perhaps utility.

HP typically packs a driver clean up tool on its cds that can be used to uninstall driver remnants that may have been left behind.

The Uninstall option is available in the Lexmark folder under Programs. I also tried all the fixed in their support centre. Nothing has helped.

Hope you guys find out what the problem and hope eveything returns to normal. Thanks guys for all the help.

[bengaluru]

Could somebody please take a look at my HicjackThis Log and let me know.

I also noticed in my Device Manager that my Lexmark printer is not listed. Further under other devices there are two devices listed with no drivers installed and windows was unable to find a driver for these devices when I tried to reintall it.

Any clues ??

[gerryf]

This is log is very different from the last one....what is going on?

First, remove Messenger Plus....a known purveyor of spywar. as is Kazaa.

I would go to Add/remove software in controlpanel and look for anything that says search and wintools, and remove them

Then I would remove the following in hijack

---------------------

This is not the problem with your printer though...I think the two yellow exclamation marks are.

USB drivers? Perhaps.

What is the make and model of your computer?

[bengaluru]

the logs are different because in the earlier one I ha disabled many applications from the startup. In the second one I had enabled everything so that you guys could have a clear picture and offer better solutions.

I have a Dell computer.

As regards the USB drivers, i did check other hardware like my camcorder and digital camera and both are working fine.

I also notice that after a couple of reinstallations my uninstall option was missing. So I once again started my computer in Safe mode, deleted the Lexmark folder and also disconnected the USB cable. I then rebooted the PC in normal mode and did another installation at which point Windows asked me to check my cable connections. On pluggng the USB cable Windows detected the new hardware and started installing again. However the print does not work. This is my update.

[bengaluru]

And this is my new log
