I just finished applying your XP tweaks and have run into a problem with my Lexmark Z43 printer. Here is what is happening:
When I finished the tweaks I tried to print the maintenance page of your tweak website but the printer somehow was uninstalled from my system. I reloaded the printer from the printer software and in the middle of the installation, I got to a screen that said "the printer spool has stopped would you like to start it again?" I chose "yes" and the printer installed and worked as normal. I rebooted after the installation and once again, my printer was gone from my system. However, XP "found new hardware" and tried to load the printer on boot-up. It stopped in the middle of the install and gave me and error that said "The RPC server is unavailable." I went to the printer folder and chose "add a printer" but it gave me the same thing. I once again installed from the software and got the same message "the printer spool has stopped would you like to start it again?" I said yes and it worked fine untill I rebooted..... Yet again the printer is gone.
So I am stuck in a vicious cirlce and cant seem to get my way out. The printer worked fine prior to the tweaks so I know it must be something I did. I checked the services and the RPC is running and automatic.
What should I do???
