Carey,
As far as I know I did not install anything called .NET Framework 1.1 but I
looked in my Add remove programs and there is a Microsoft .NET Framework
1.1! How could this get installed by uninstalling my printer? Can I uninstall
it? Should I just do a System restore and start over with uninstalling the
old printer and installing the new one?
Thanks, Val

Simply visit the Windows Update web site and download the critical
updates for .NET Framework. It is required for some software applications
now and in the future.

Will this stop the problem I have with startup, so that I won't have to login
at the Welcome screen?
