I have 2000 pro 850 athalon 14 gigs 383ram and a epson c80
printer (2nd one ) office max replaced it to make sure it
wasn't the printer) brand new. when I load the drivers I
get a message box that says 16 bit windows subsystem
(headline)
and then in the box it says
system\current control set
control virtual device driverVDD
in registry is in valid then there are two button choices
1 close and 2. Ignore when I hit close it just comes
back and when I hit ignore it lets me load drivers but the
printer works sometimes on text but when I give it a
complicated print job with grafics it locks up at about
half way and will just sit there for hours then when I try
and delete the print job it keeps coming back into the que
and what I usally hve to do is re boot and then it takes
to or three trys ..it keeps saying the program won't end

There should be some 32-bit drivers on the Epson website. You shouldn't be
installing ANY 16-bit drivers (except for ancient hardware) on Windows 2000.
