Well, connected my Epson RX500 printer this morning and the pc would not boot again, diconnected it and pc booted.

I uninstalled the printer and took the lead out of the usb port, then switched printer on and put lead back into usb port, all I got was errors while win 7 tried to install it, then got the message "Failed to install Device", shucks.

Then I looked at the printer panel and it was not switched on, idiot me.

switched the printer on and then it did auto install.

So, the printer was switched on all the time, never had it not booting before because the printer had been left switched on.

Thanks to all that have suggested things for me to try, hopefully it will be ok now.
