    Hi K - Ann,

    Thank you for the above information.

    I followed you instruction to back up the registry keys, but when I followed step number 7. Navigate to the location and look for the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open, the message of answers that I received from the registry editor has been as follows: -.

    Impossible to import C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Backup\Backup260910.reg of register: not all data was successfully written to the registry.  Some keys are open by the system or my other processes.

    So I closed my computer and restarted. I then followed your instructions again (this time save the backup of the registry to a member in the same library, called "Backup260910bkup"

    Yet once, when I followed the number of the step 7. Navigate to the location and look for the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open, the message of answers that I received from the registry editor has been as follows: -.

    Impossible to import C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Backup\Backup260910bkup.reg of register: not all data was successfully written to the registry.  Some keys are open by the system or my other processes.

    Can you tell me what I need to do to work around this problem of backup of the registry?

    I look forward to receiving your response.

    Thank you

    Neil Clark.

  • Whenever I have shut down my computer I comnnection in bulk for my printers and having to reconnect again when I start-up

    I have two printers (HP G85 & Konica Minolta 2500W magicvolor) on a small business connected by ethernet network and other cable series. The network server is managed by Windows XP Pro V2002 SP3I and I have access to the network through one of the two laptops Toshiba Tecra to operate Windows Vista Business SP1. My problem only occurs on one of the laptops (the other works fine). The problem is not always consistent and often causes different symptoms.

    When starting the printer seems to be online and connected, however when I send a print to the system command accepts the order (or nothing at all), but the print window displays an error message after a few minutes. When I check the printer proerties sometimes I'm not able to display the port information at all. I have to cancel the print order, remove the printer from the network and 'Add printer' again. I send the print command and the printer now prints. Sometimes the print command works normally and sometimes, it takes a long time to print and the printer very very time consuming to complete the task from start to finish.

    Now, I have added the printer once again I lose the connection again when I shut down the computer and must go through the same drama when I start again. The problem is that with a single computer.

    grhilly,
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Answers community forums.
    Can you give us a little more information so that we can better help you?
    What is the exact error messages that you get when you try to print?
    You get the same error message if you try to print to the serial printer or an Ethernet?
    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer drivers on the laptop which is having the issue?
