Device Monitor Appliaction
Hi Colin,
Yer a genius,got rid of the 'sodden', and believe me that's NOT the word I would use#! Everythings now uninstalled time for Curry's to take the f**^%*G thing back!! Many thanks for your help,really much appreciated. Best Regards Allan "Colin Barnhorst" wrote: "aga151" wrote in message ... Hi Colin, Found the problem,it's the sodding Lexmark printer I have had major problems with the cursed thing so I uninstalled it and the problem has gone,except that the Lexmark Fax Solutions will not allow me to uninstall,there's an error message that reads: You do not have access to uninstall Lexmark Fax Solutions Please contact your system administrator. Any ideas on how to get around this!! regards aga You can try uninstalling from an elevated command window. Click on the start orb and type CMD in the Start/Search box BUT do not hit Enter. Instead right click on the cmd icon at the top of the menu stack and choose Run As Administrator. Then type APPWIZ.CPL at the prompt and hit Enter. That will run the Uninstall a Program with elevated permissions. As long as you can find the program in the list you should not have the access problem. |

Device Monitor Appliaction
Hi, there.....I am so glad someone understands the dilemma of "device monitor
application has stopped working." And yes -- I have/had a Lexmark 2500 series printer which caused this error. I thought I'd removed everything, but I can't remove Lexmark 2500 Series from my add/remove programs in my control panel. Each time I try to remove this, I get an error which says "%build template error message%." I tried the solution below, but unfortunately it didn't work. PLEASE HELP!!! Please-if you can--reply to me directly to my email address. Thanks!!

Colin, I have the same "device monitor application" problem when windows
opens. I have a Gateway ML6732 with Vista and a Lexmark printer 3500-4500. I don't want to uninstall the printer as I use it. Can I get rid of the error message and still keep my printer? What exactly does this error message hurt except for being annoying? ~SW "Colin Barnhorst" wrote: "aga151" wrote in message ...

Hi, I'm getting an eror message on my Advent laptop on Vista stating that the Device Monitor Application is not running. Where and how can I start this task. regards aga Is a Device Monitor an advent supplied utility? What program or device are you using when that happens? "Device Monitor" is not the name of a Windows program or service that I know of. You should tell us the exact make and model of the computer. "Advent laptop" is pretty general. The Advent.uk site is not helpful without the exact model. There are very many. |

I also have a Lexmark Printer...X3550...and have suddenly (as of today)
started receiving this error message: Device Monitor Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. This comes on as soon as I switch from Copy mode to Scan mode. The printer (all in one) is fairly new...about 6 weeks...it's worked fine until today. I tried uninstalling all printer applications and re-installing. I tried downloading the drivers from Lexmark. Nothing worked. Still receiving error message. Print function (mode) works fine, but it's the scan mode that is getting the error message. Lexmark used the Remote Assistance feature and looked around. Lexmark says it's the Microsoft .NET Framework that's the culprit. However, even the Lexmark Support Tech (thru Remote Assistance) could not either repair or uninstall the .NET Framework (2.0) in the add/remove programs. I've tried re-installing the .NET Framework from my original operating disk, and still getting the same errors. Lexmark says the printer and software are fine. Microsoft says since my Windows XP is OEM, that it's a gateway problem. Gateway says my warranty ended back in 2004, however to try to reinstall the .NET Framework. HELP !!!

I was able to get rid of the device monitor application message through a
download from Lexmark. Now I'm having problems getting my Lexmark X4530 to scan. It says "No configured computer found on the network." Any ideas?

Okay...here's the solution to the scan problem which I had.
My problem was that I couldn't scan, but I could print. Lexmark was no help as the issue isn't with Lexmark but your computer's ability to send/receive instructions from that device, which is apparently what you need the .NET Framework for. After several hours of trial and error, I found there's a "correction tool" software download at microsoft for the .NET Framework software. Apparently this is nothing more than a registry error on your system as regards the .NET Framework. I tried uninstalling the .NET Framework thru add/remove programs. The system wouldn't let me. I tried a repair thru the add/remove programs. Again the system wouldn't let me. All your .NET Framework updates need to be working properly...so make sure you have all the latest updates from Windows Updates. I finally found a "fix"...it's a correction software patch thru Microsoft. Sorry but I didn't save the web address for it. There's 3 different patches (fixes)...I don't know why. So I tried all 3. The first 2 said they couldn't do anything for me...wouldn't install. The 3rd patch fixed the problem with my Lexmark so I could now scan in documents. The fix was immediate. So, I would first go to Windows Update and make sure you have the latest updates. If any of them fail to download and install, do a search right there on Microsoft (top right hand corner) for that software update...then look at the search results for fixes for failure to download that update. You should find the correction software patch there. Sorry I didn't save the exact addy for the fix....but I was so frustrated after hours of trying to fix this problem, and had tried so many things, that I was losing hope by that point.
