When I attempted to install the Iomega software, shut down & hooked up the External Zip 100 Parallel via the printer port (w/ or without the printer & scanner attached), and restart, I get a situation of a normal request to boot to XP Home, then it attempts to boot into windows normally, then a screen flash (too fast to read any of the writing) of a blue screen, then it goes into a restart loop (repeat?s), that won’t allow booting into windows.

found & fixed 82 errors, most being invalid reg. change from activated config.) Also cleaned up the registry & Start up folder. (I think this would be noticed by XP as a 4th Hdwre. The scanner & printer now work fine & there are no hdwre. I downloaded the correct XPdrivers called for which changed the scanner to be recognized by XP as a Microtek scanner (I think they wrote the XP driver). But the following was happening before the conversion also. Also file system was FAT32, I converted the drive to NTFS. hdwre config.?) Hehad the wrong drivers for the scanner in, leading to 2 separate (!) points in the device manager. He had activated XP long ago, then added his a printer after purchase & activation, then much later an older Scanport 300 scanner, then a digital camera on a USB port (3 hdwre. I will adjust and award points based on amount of help for each who contributes to the solutions.Ī relative has XP Home, am trying to transfer files from an old Win95 puter via an External Iomega Zip 100 Parallel drive, (files are on 2 Zip 100 media disks as Backup Job #1 & #2).
