Hi, A familly member had the same problem as you just described. Althought I'm not sure if it will apply to you, it would be worth verifying into a virus. Because with her it was a virus that went rampant on the computer. Something to consider. But also the Hard disk drive problem started to crap out. Hope you find this useful.

Solution! Hi all, so the solution was found. What happened is that I did a Windows XP system restore, but the problem had already occured that day. The developper did an even earlier system restore and it worked. Now the process is not eating up the whole computer. Apparently the developper installed SQL server and SQL reporting and that's what triggered the problem. So a windows system restore worked. Thank god for that functionnality! Now you know the reason and the solution. Hope it works for you too!

@ trickytwista, Thanks for the suggestion, but as I noted on my initial post, I have already read and tried that solution. I read most of the applicable googled documentation that I found on the subject. Which is why I am posting this request for help, because I have been unable to find a solution online or to fix the problem myself. So I am reaching out to other . If anybody has had this problem and found the solution, sharing it would be a great value. Thanks

Hi all, Unfortunately I have this user where the process csrss.exe is taking eating up whatever is left of the processor, so it's always running at 100%. Now I browsed google abit and I tried all of the suggested solutions. I tried Microsoft solution of deleting the user's profile. I did a virus scan and an adaware scan (came up with nothing). He did a windows system restore (didn't do anything). I tried to stop a strange process but it didn't change anything. I went throught all of the processes that was on his computer one by one and they are all ok. He's a developper so reinstalling his computer should be the last case scenario and also he has many softwares installed, making changes complex and sensitive. Now I noticed that logging on as the local administrator did the same thing, csrss.exe taking up all of the ressources. Then I logged on my domain user account, for the first time on his computer. At first it was normal. But when I relogged on to my account on his computer, it went back to csrss.exe taking up all of the ressources. So this leads me to believe that it's not a hardware issue. Any ideas? I'm stumped!

Hi, Well I found the answer half way. I was typing the command wrong, that is why it was giving me the error. A coworker pointed out to me that I type the model name incorrectly. You need to find the model name in the inf file and copy it so that it is perfectly the same. That was the problem I had. After that the installation worked. But another problem came up, before completing the installation it gave me the "continue anyways or stop installation prompt" I am contacting the company to have the driver digitally signed. Changing the unsigned warning in the control panel removes that prompt but I don't know how to change that automatically. We can do it manually, but that's out of the question. So it was put on hold for now.

Never mind. Found it. Scratch this post. B) Not that anybody read this.....

Hi InTheWayBoy, The O/S is windows XP. Basically I have a clean install that I want it to work on. It's just a windows XP SP1 with nothing on it. The printer is a Star TUP942 with monitoring, a thermal printer. It is connected by USB. The commands don't work but I think that it's mainly because it's not signed. I guess my question Has anyone ever tried to install unsigned printer drivers unattended and succeeded? And if yes, then how did you do it? It's funny because if I use the command rundll32 printui.dll, PrintUIEntry /ii ... it does open an add printer windows box and it does point to the driver I tell it to use. But unfortunately it is not unattended, you have to do the steps manually. If I use the rundll32 printui.dll, PrintUIEntry /if ... it says that windows cannot locate a suitable printer driver......but it found it with the ii command. So that's why I think that it has a problem with digital signage. So has anybody tried unattended installation and faced this problem? Thanks again

Hi all, I'm trying to setup an automatic installation of a printer. It must have 0 user interaction. I've tried prndrvr, prnmngr, rundll32 printui.dll, PrintUIEntry, I've tried an msi package.... But they all either don't work or they give me errors. It is an unsigned printer driver, but there must be a way to make it work. The rundll32 printui.dll, PrintUIEntry give me an error that "Windows cannot locate a suitable printer driver" I have been playing with this for 4 days and have verified many sites on the web. I'm sure there's an easy way to do this that I have missed. Any input or suggestion or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
