Every time I start XP PRO I have documents that need to print. The thing is I haven't chose to print any documents. Anyway, so I cancel them when XP finishes loading. How can I get this to keep from happening?

This is a temp way to make it stop loading up.

After loading up XP GOTO ----->START----RUN--->TYPE "MSCONFIG"---->WHEN IT POPS UP CLICK AT THE TOP STARTUP..--->YOU ARE NOW LOOKING AT WHAT LOADS UP WHEN XP LOADS..UNTICK YOR PRINTER DRIVER OR SPOOL SERVICE ETC.

I am not sure since I do not know what it is called in your version of MSCONFIG but one of the names by the check box will be the one causing this problem.

You are basically telling it "Do not load next time Windows loads"

Good Luck & Happy New Year!
