Bob -

Apologies if I'm confused. Is the problem that Windows itself wants to "re-detect" the printer whenever any application or Windows function is attempted?

Never apologize when try to help. <g>

The problem started right after I installed the driver for the 3100cn printer. Since then everytime I try to start up many, but not all programs, the Windows Installer kicks in and flashes a few time.

As I already said, it's more of an annoyance than anything else.

Among the instances of this happening:

Start any MS Office 2003 application
Create a new e-mail in Outlook
Start Control Panel
Start Windows Explorer.

Stangely, if it indeed was caused by the printer driver, there's no problem printing. The only thing I did notice is that when the driver is through installing there's supposed to be a print test page button in the dialog box, but all I get a finish button.

Thanks for your interest.

Bob
