When I try to change my services in MSCONFIG I get this error
returend "An access denied error was returned while attempting to

to make the specified changes." It allows be to change it anyway. I
think this may have something to do with my HP Printer Driver
however; i did unistall and reinstall. Does anyone have any idea what
is going on?

AS the other posters say, HP printer software causes that. In my specific
case it turned out to be the javaw.exe HP places in the HP folder for the
ToolBox. Kill the toolbox and delete the javaw.exe and I think it'll work
OK.
I discovered that uninstalling the printer sofware left the folder and
javaw.exe was still there too.
NOTE that there may be several javaw.exe files scattered around your
disk; do NOT touch them; they are different javaw.exe files for different
things.

OR, uninstall the printer stuff and use Custom in the reinstall so you don't
get the toolbox.

You can still access it manually; it just won't be in the systray or
pre-started for you.

That was my experience here anyway.
