I've got a couple of weee probs.

1. When I print from a computer on my home network, I get an error appearing twice:

The window title is 'Epson Status Mointro 3'

and the content is 'Cannot link common resource dll.'

The page prints fine though.

I know what status monitor 3 is, but why is my network computer trying to access it, and why can't it?

I don't care if I can't access the status monitor, I just don't want the errors.

Epson Stylus Colour 480.
Sygate firewall.
Both comps windows XP Pro.

2. One of my PC's has started taking ages to shut down and startup - say 1min 30 intead of the usual 30 sec.

(I don't know how much slower than normal, but about twice.)

I haven't made any obvious cahnges.

I have tried disabling all startup apps, and norton autoprotect to now avail.

On start-up, the windows flash screen takes an extra two - three seconds, and once the desktop displays, I have to wait another 15seconds+ than normal.

During this time, there is a lot of disk activity, and the floppy drive is accessed for a short period (three seconds). (no disk in drive).

On shut down, it just displays the windows is shutting down screen for a little longer.

Running windows XP Pro, 128MB RAM, 1200MHz processor.

I know these times are not large, but it is a 50% slow down. I have tried defrag, windoctor etc. No solution.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
