Common Windows Problems Problem "File in Use" message appears during installation. "Error Writing to LPTx" message appears. "General Protection Fault", "Exception OE", "Spool32", or "Illegal Operation" messages appears. Possible Cause and Solution Quit all software applications. Remove all software from the StartUp Group, then restart Windows. Reinstall the printer driver. • Make sure that the cables are connected correctly, the printer is on, and the Data light on the control panel is on. • If bi-directional communication is not turned on in the driver, it will also cause this message. Close all other applications, reboot Windows, and try printing again. Note: Refer to Microsoft Windows 9x, Me, NT 4.0, 2000 or XP documentation that came with your PC for further information on Windows error messages. PROBLEM SOLVING 7.25
