Hi All

I am new here.PLEASE HELP
I have 4 computers on my home network and two of them have the same problem.
When I go into system restore and click on restore my computer to a earlier
time there are multiple intances of the same driver being installed every 5
mins or so. It is not exact. Sometimes it is 15 mins between and sometimes 5
mins or sometimes 20 seconds. Since system restore only holds so many restore
points I can not go back more than a few hours.
It is installing " Printer driver brother pc-fax installed"
I do a a Buffalo nas server installed on the network that used to have a
brother multifuntion printer attached to the print server on the nas. I
disabled that over a year ago and have since reinstalled os on both computers.

HELPPPPPPP
