Why is the above in the Startup items and would it have anything to do with
some problems that I was having with a driver conflict between two drivers
(thay were using the same twain device) that I think I have resolved? Would
there be a problem with getting rid of this Startup Item or is it there
because it is needed and should be there?

Thanks for all the good information! One more question: Would you just
leave it on the startup items or would you follow the information that you
gave me on how to get rid of it? Is there a best answer on whether to leave
it or get rid of it?

This 67 year old type 1 diabetic thanks you VERY MUCH for your knowledge and
fast response for for my questions! Now, from what you say, it must be okay
for me to set the Dump file back to the default setting:
%systemroot%\MEMORY.DMP and if there is a big problem it will go back to the
setting that it is right now (%systemroot$\system32\dumprep 0 -k) - is that
right?

I love learning the complications of a computer!
