About half the time when I boot up, I get an error meggage refering to my
Epson printer which says "At least one service or driver has failed". The
printer works fine. I have recently re-installed XP and have the latest
driver for the printer. This problem existed before and after the
re-install. Any ideas?
Thanks.
 
It's possible another device or application is conflicting. Open Control
Panel, open Administrative Tools, open Event viewer and look for any errors
that correspond to when the error appears and double click the error. The
information contained within may give a clue as to the source of the issue.

Also, place the XP CD in the drive, when the setup screen appears, select
"Check System Compatibility." The report it generates may give a clue as to
why this is happening.

Finally, while you did get updated drivers for your printer, are you sure
the printer is XP compatible? Also, how is the printer connected? Is it a
parallel port printer, is it USB, etc. If it is USB, is the printer
connected to a USB hub or to a directly to a port on the PC?
