Hi there,
I've deleted an unused printer from a Win98 PC and it said some of the files are not used anymore by any other programs, do I want to delete them as well and I've said yes. Now everytime we restart the PC, it comes up with the following erro: "The shortcut 'EPSON Status Monitor 3 Environment Check.Ink' refers to a location that is unavailable....Check to make sure the disk is properly inserted, or that you're...."

Is there any way I can get rid of this message because this must have something to do with the printer I've deleted?

Thank you!

Try checking your start menu (start -> programs -> startup). There is probably an icon in there that is trying to launch this program that no longer exists. If you see an Epson icon in that folder on the menu, right click it and delete it. Then try restarting the computer again.

Hope this helps.
