Easy for you to say.

1.  I really don't think this is related to a startup item, but I will
check.
2.  I already did this.
3.  Too late.

BTW, this is P&O.  Gee, what a surprise, right?

1. Find out what startup item is generating the error. Run this script to
enumerate startup items:


strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colStartupCommands = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_StartupCommand") For Each objStartupCommand in
colStartupCommands
    strOut = "Command: " & objStartupCommand.Command & vbTab & vbTab & _
             "Description: " & objStartupCommand.Description  & vbTab &
vbTab & _
             "Location: " & objStartupCommand.Location & vbTab & vbTab & _
             "Name: " & objStartupCommand.Name & vbTab & vbTab & _
             "SettingID: " & objStartupCommand.SettingID & vbTab & vbTab & _
             "User: " & objStartupCommand.User & vbCRLF Next msgbox strOut
 
1a. Find out what RWFactory is
1b. Maybe run filemon/regmon, log the output, import it into Access, and
look for clues

2. First thing to do is get rid of kernel-mode (NT4) drivers. Enumerate them
at 

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT
x86\Drivers

  The kernel mode drivers will be listed under 'Version-2'. Get rid of them.

3. Don't pull your hair out.
