For the past three months my computer, a 16-month-old PC running Windows XP Professional, has been freezing about once a day. The only error message that shows up on the Event Log is a System error, source Print, Event 23. The Description is "Printer hp LaserJet 1000 failed to initialize because a suitable hp LaserJet 1000 driver could not be found." I had uninstalled my LJ 1000 about 6 months ago. After the crashes began, I upgraded my bios and ran CCleaner to clean the registry. However, I'm still getting the same error message in the Event Viewer. How do I fully eliminate all traces of the LJ 1000?2 people need an answerI do too

My XP Profession is running on a Dell Dimension 8400, with 2 GB of memory and a 120 GB hard drive. It freezes up more than once a day; sometimes applications will hang and freeze the entire system requiring a power down using the on/off button and then powering back up again.The most recent instances involved Word and Wordpad with the following error:Hanging application WINWORD.EXE, version 11.0.8169.0, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000.I also get the following:Faulting application iexplore.exe, version 8.0.6001.18702, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x0dcbaa80.(These error messages are recorded in the Application Event Log.)
