Cannot remove a printer driver
Is this computer used by more than one user? If so and the other users has
a connection to a printer which uses the driver you are attempting to delete, then the driver is still in use in the other profile. If you are the only user, and the printer has been deleted, the explorer process can still be holding a reference to the print driver UI component which will also block the driver deletion. I have a tool that can check for loaded modules and which process is loading them but normally I just kill the explorer process, restart explorer and delete the driver. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];kbhowto This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
