I am installing a new printer. Instructions say to disable al
anti-virus and automatically loading programs. I found the startu
programs (thank you). May I disable all or should some be lef
enabled? Will I be able to go back after installation and enable all
 
Hi,

I've rarely found it necessary to disable programs while installing printer
software, it's done mainly to avoid potential conflicts, the key word being
"potential". In WinXP I've found few that interfere with setup routines
other than antivirus software. You can disable anything found on the startup
tab of msconfig, and you can always reenable them afterwards by reversing
the steps.
