First, check you system for malware. There was a virus a couple of years ago that
would hijack the ISDN wizard and set it to run at startup, so that it would in fact
run the virus. Update your anti-virus app and then run a full-system virus scan.

Then, click Start> Run, type: msconfig and click OK.
Click the Startup tab....do you see anything listed that references an ISDN setup?
It would be pointing to this file:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CFGWIZ32.EXE

CFGWIZ32.EXE is the ISDN Configuration Wizard.

If you need help finding it, do this:
Click Start>Run, type: msinfo32 and click OK.
In the left pane of the System Information window, click the + sign to expand the
"Software Environment" category.
In the left pane, click to select "Startup Programs"....they will appear in a list
on the right.
Press Ctrl-A on the keyboard, which will highlight everything in the list on the
right.
Press Ctrl-C to copy the list to the 'clipboard'.
Open a reply to this message, click in the body of the message and press Ctrl-V to
paste the list from the clipboard to the message, and post back to this thread.

Hi Glee
I thank you for your reply:
I check my system with the Norton AV and it seems that all is ok:: no virus
find.
I check msconfig and i discover a strange thing: :
in the startup tab i have the Epson Status Monitor 3 Environment Check (i
have an Epson Stylus Photo 870 printer in my system) that is pointing to
these
C:\windows\system\cfgwiz32.exe
I de-check this from the startup tab.
I think personally that there is something in the register that is wrong
because The Epson status Monitor is required from the printer.
How can i solve this problem?
Really thank for your help

Put the check-mark back in the box for the Status Monitor, in msconfig, but do NOT
reboot when it prompts you. As I recall, that startup item will be found in the
Startup folder, not the Registry, so after re-enabling it in msconfig, click Start>
Programs, then mouse over to StartUp, and you should see a shortcut there to "Epson
Status Monitor 3 Environment Check".

If you want the actual Status Monitor to run at startup, right-click the Epson
Status Monitor item there, left-click Properties on the menu that appears, then the
Shortcut tab, and change the Target line to the path to E_SRCV03.EXE (probably in
the Windows\System folder....search for it), and click Apply/OK. So most likely the
path to the correct file will be C:\Windows\System\E_SRCV03.EXE

Then you can re-boot and the Status Monitor should run rather than the ISDN Wizard.
This is not the first time I have seen this exact problem with the Epson Status
Monitor, and I suspect it is a bug in Epson's installer.

I think it may be a bug in the installer from Epson, but I am not sure. I have seen
the exact thing happen before.
