    OE unable to print

    After installing ZA suite and eliminating a nasty virus, I'm no longer able to printout emails when booting into Win ME. (All is ok with Win XP boot.) System is dual boot with Win ME & Win XP.

    WIN ME boot:
    Running Win ME, (no upgrades)
    AMD 1.6gh processor with 1gb ram
    Sis 735 chip set
    nVidia Gforce 3 video Ti200 video board
    mail: OE 6.0
    browser: Firefox

    Win XP boot:
    same other than...
    mail: Thunderbird

    All was ok prior to the virus issue. Any help will be gratly appreciated. Thanks for looking.

    Are you saying the printer works fine for other apps, just not OE?

    newstar--Perhaps some help here

    Several suggestions made.
    If you are getting any error message, perhaps it will help you choose. But no harm in trying them all until one works.

    Sorry to be vague. No, the printer doesn't work with any app on ME boot. Works normal on XP boot. With ME, the printer is selcted as default in control panel and will print a test page ok. There are no docs in the printer que, meaning the the computer is not sending any info.

    Jim,
    Thanks for your interest, but the links you provided appear to be for Win XP. My issue is with Win ME. Further thoughts will be appreciated.

    You probably have done this already, but make sure the printer drivers and files are still installed in ME. If they're gone--disconnect the printer from your computer while shut down, then start up and load the drivers etc. from the CD; then shut down again, connect the printer with the power turned on and restart the computer in ME. That should do it. Wouldn't be the first virus that was OS-specific. Went through something like that recently, where a bug destroyed M$ Office in 98SE but the XP side was untouched. Go figure.

    Yes are ok. Problem was resolved by re-installing ie6. Btw, the virus didn't effect the xp partition... Thanks for your interest. It's appreciated.
