Hi there,as stated above in Topics, I have been trying to print a few items both on and off the "Net" but with the same results.
My printer will print at least two pages and then my whole system will freeze,have to reset to boot up again.I have ran the printer utilitys and everything is fine but again if I try to print a four page document my system freezes.Thought it was the Driver but I have the latest.

Any clues Guys,

Have you run any updates from windows and then started to have problems?

[Seamey. T]

Yeah there was an update a couple of weeks ago but i've used my printer since,it's only this last few days this problem has occured.
Would it have to do with Malware & Highjackthis,my system was infected a few days ago but geeks to go cleaned my system for me,and still is.

I used to just go to add printers and set the printer up as a second copy
and try that. It worked most times then I just deleted the original

Hi Peterm,
Have just found the software Cd for the printer,so will re-install and keep you up to date ASAP.

[Seamey. T]

Installed the printer Drivers and software,ran the test page and everything was fine,told me my printer was installed correctly.
Tried to print some threads from this site and the system froze up again,any ideas.

[peterm]

did you install a second copy ?

[Seamey. T]

NO,I completly removed the old printer software and did a clean install from "Cd Software.

[peterm]

Have a look in add remove programs
do you have KB891711.exe I would suggest you remove that and see whats happens. This is not a Virus but a windows update file that does cause some problems. If you are worried about removing this file let me know and I will
ask gerryf if he will look at this post for me.
Sorry about the delay I have been at work

Hi peterm,

Have that KB artical on my system but before i got your reply, tried a few things and came up with this,which i have to say seems to be working at the moment.

Control Panel,Disply Settings,Advance Tab,Performance Tab,Hardware Graphics Acceleration and moved the slider settings to none.(No Accelerations Functions:Use this setting only if your computer frequently stops responding or has other severe problems)
As I say everything seems fine but can I leave these settings as they are

[peterm]

you can leave it like that
did you put a new video card in recently?

[Seamey. T]

No new card peterm.
