Okay, turns out the parallel port *was* disabled in BIOS. SO, I've now activated that, and then changed the registry value as you've said.
Quick look at event viewer doesn't show any errors relating to that upon boot now :banana

However, I am still getting the error about OMSCAN on reboot still...that seems to be the main recurring one now.

In the last boot, I've also got three new errors relating to the iPod service failing to start (the service did not respond in a timely manner, timeout while waiting, bla bla)... are these maybe just a fact of life with an old system that is slow, that sometimes not everything loads properly on boot?

776553 2009-05-25 00:57:00 Cool (and I dont mean the weather - Its bloody cold here in wainui ) ;)

Not to sure what the OMSCAN service actually is , every thing I have looked at says its part of an old HP utility .


Going back to Beeswax post earlier - delete the reg key .

OR make sure you have the latest Ccleaner - open it, go to Tools/Startup - see if its there, if it is Click it, then Disable - reboot other wise navigate to:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
Scroll down to OMSCAN and delete that key .

MAKE A RESTORE point Before deleting - just to be safe .

Regarding the ipod services - could just be slower due to windows Bloat - if it works OK, I wouldn't worry to much .

Cheers, I've deleted the registry key now and hopefully that'll stop the errors.
Thanks so much for the help, I'll keep an eye on it and post back if there's any more problems!

776555 2009-05-25 01:50:00 The parallel port error is probably appearing if your mobo doesnt have a parallel port on it (like this one). It doesnt have a parallel port onboard. This doesnt have an LPT port in device manager either. But the drivers installed for it anyway. I wouldnt worry about it Speedy Gonzales (78)
776556 2009-05-25 02:12:00 Thanks Speedy, the MB does have a parallel port, I think I've fixed that error by enabling it in the BIOS (previously it was disabled) Chikara (5139)
