Each time I boot my computer I get this window. I have searched the Microsoft Knowledge Base and used their suggestions to remove it. When I go to the registry to remove and attempt to delete LPTENUM I get this error message:

Cannot delete LPTENUM.....ERROR WHILE DELETING KEY

What I understand is that Windows is recognizing a former printer that I no longer have and wishes me to install it.

Any suggestions to correcting this annoying problem??

Have you tried deleting the key in safe mode?

Thanks for the reply, Geo. I failed to mention in my initial post that I tried it in Safe Mode and it did not work either.:dunce:

Sometimes not always if you move the file to a different folder it is breaking the link, then it may will let you delete it

I Found The Solution For FOUND NEW HARDWARE PROBLEM:



1) Go to start

2) Then Run

3) Type devmgt.msc in box

4) In Device Manager...View... Click On Show Hidden Devices

5) Under Printers you will find Unknown Device(with yellow!)

6) Rt. Click then click on Disable

7) Restart 'puter.



The ANNOYING WINDOW IS GONE. :yippee:



NOTE: I guess you could click on uninstall but I did not want to make any permanent changes if this did not solve the problem.
