I haven't done this in several years, but I found an old note that might be of help. Mike Honeycutt UNC Asheville ===================== Core2Duo - muliple processors The ACPI multiprocessor HAL consists of two files namely ntkrnlmp.exe and halmacpi.dll which should be located in the System32 directory. So I copied the latest versions from my SP2 CD and the Windows install directory respectively and modified my boot.ini file on boot drive to cater for an additional entry to test it out. Added multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Home Edition MP" /fastdetect /noexecute=optin /kernel=ntkrnlmp.exe /hal=halmacpi.dll

Although other programs are printing correctly to the Laserjet 2420, your tests indicate to me the problem is with the printer driver. If I remember correctly, the Laserjet 2420 can do PCL and Postscript so try experiementing with PCL 5, PCL 6 and PS. Also, if the printer is on a print server, try directly connecting it to the PC. I would also get the latest driver from HP. I've never had to do it, but they do make ROM updates for the printer. Be sure to post the solution when you find it. Mike Honeycutt

1. Try printing the spreadsheet on another computer/printer. 2. Try printing on another networked printer from his PC. 3. Are there any macros in the spreadsheets? 4. Try creating a PDF (PrimoPDF). Do you get two copies? 5. Exit Excel, search for Sheet.xlt, rename it, then print the spreadsheet again. I haven't seen this before but my guess is the problem is in Sheet.xlt. Mike Honeycutt

Google: Smitfraud I had the same virus on a machine and this program deleted the virus and put everything back to normal. Mike Honeycutt UNC Asheville

Thanks for teaching an old dog a new trick - I've never heard of this feature. Now that I'm an "expert", I might suggest: 1. CMD prompt 2. EDIT killfile.txt in case mistakes occur that need to be fixed. Thanks again for the tip Mike Honeycutt

The suggestions look good to me, but I always forget to put quotes around the directory names and some of the names have spaces in them. Do this: rd "Folder To Remove" Instead of: rd Folder To Remove Mike Honeycutt UNC Asheville
