When I shutdown Windows Xp my floppy drive green light comes on as if it is coming on. When I open windows my floppy drive green light comes on as if it is looking for a disk and my scanner comes on as if it is staring to scan.
Can anyone tell me how to stop these?
I have tried this:
To disable startup programs:
click start>run… Enter msconfig.
In the new window, click the Startup tab. You should get a list of all programs that are starting up when you PC boots. Uncheck them one at a time until you find the culprit
But still did not stop the scanner from Starting.
I Also tried this:
If the scanner is started via the start menu, go to Start–>Programs–>Start-up. There you’ll find the programs windows loads with starts. Just right-click on the scanner menu option and select delete.
If it’s not there, you must open the scanner software, and in option/preferences disable the option where it says it will start with windows.
For the floppy drive, it could be the antivirus software. See if you can find and disable an option that makes the antivirus program search the floppy drive when you shut down windows.
But still the scanner did not stop, where in the anti virus software can i stop the floppy starting, i have Nortons Anto Virus 2004.
Does anyone have any more ideas, and can you explain them in more detail as i am just a beginner in Computers.
