I have recently upgraded a PC to Windows 2000 and on booting into windows I get an event viewer error.

The event ID is 3523
The error source is Eplpdx01.

I have looked on the MS knowledge base and could not find any information to help me.Can anybody help me.

The system operated ok.

That error generally indicates that service could not be started. I am not familiar with, nor could I find a reference to, Eplpdx01. After a boot check your Component Services List (Programs>Administrative Tools>Component Services) Look for an entrythat has a AUTOMATIC start but indicates that it has not started. That should point you in the right direction as to what service is failing.

No other errors in the Event Log? Probably should be . . .

Is your printer an Epson? If yes, then I would recommend that you download the Win2000 driver for your printer model from the manufacturer.

I down loaded the latest drivers and this didnt make any difference.

I the Proble has now been retified by uninstalling the EPSON printer port and using the printer on USB
