I'm confused, didn't you go to the website that I mentioned? http://www2.whidbey.com/djdenham/Msconfig.htm There are download links for the file there and instructions on where to place the file. The below is copied from the website: for Use Windows 95 users should download the file to the C:\Windows\System folder. Windows 2000 users should download it to C:\WINNT\system32. The Help File for Windows 2000 should be downloaded to the C:\WINNT\Help folder. To use it, go to Start|Run, type msconfig and click OK. To download this file, click on its name, below.

I followed and did what Jim recommended, but when I try to install my Lexmark Z45 printer I still get the message that spooler service has not been started. do you want to start spooler service? When I enter on the yes button I'm taken completely out of the installation. I did a system restore and still have the same problem. Is there any way to copy this from another computer with the same OS to a disk then copy it to mine? If so, what should I look for and where would the file be located?

The version for Windows 2000 is taken from Windows XP, the one for Windows 95 is taken from Windows 98. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Britt" <swimmer953@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, July 24, 2004 5:46 PM Subject: Re: Unloading unwanted programs in startup group That wouldn't be a good idea, Anders. Since MSCONFIG is a Windows 95/98 tool, not a Win 2000 tool, mixing system tools like this could damage your system. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anders Holmberg" <anders@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, July 24, 2004 5:47 AM Subject: Re: Unloading unwanted programs in startup group > Hello! > Can i run msconfig with windows2000? > I know that its not installed but if i get it from somewhere? > /Anders. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "jim grimsby" <jimgrims@xxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 11:07 PM > Subject: RE: Unloading unwanted programs in startup group > > > > Hi, go in to ms config by doing this. > > 1. type msconfig from the run prompt. > > 2.Now that you are in ms config select normal startup > > Click ok and allow the computer to restart. > > 3. run ms config again as described in step one. > > 4. select selective startup. > > 5. make sure all the boxes are checked. > > 6. un check the ittoms you do not want started in the startup section. > > 7. in the servusis section select hide all microsoft servuses. > > 8. now unmark all the other servusis you do not want to start. > > 9 click ok and allow the computer to restart. > > 10 when the computer restart make sure that the box that asks you if you > > want to see this message everytime your computer is started is set > > corectly to not show it.
