MFP Agent??????

Question

I asked this earlier on in the week but got no response so i'm hoping that some more intelligent people can help me today.
Every time i shut my pc down it tells me that the mfp agent is not responding and do i want to end now. When i click yes my pc closes down fine and starts up fine the next time. My question is really: what is this mfp agent? what is it doing? and how did i get it? as i've only had this problem for the last 2 weeks. I cant think of anything that i've downloaded or installed recently so i'm clueless. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks for the answer. i'll try that but in answer to yours, no, i use an epson and have done for the last 2 years

Answer 1

I would recommend that you check the system configuration utilities startup tab and disable any reference to mfp agent that is listed

Start>Run>type in MSCONFIG>Startup tab

I'm not exactly sure what the mfp agent is, do you happen to have a Panasonic fax machine or a Belkin all-in-one printer set up to your computer?

Answer 2

Have you got a Multifunction Printer? The agent checks the folders on your drive I believe. Try turning the printer off before shutdown.

Answer 3

sorry I cant help I think this is one of a long list of obscure reasons windows gives for things it cant do mine often tells me it can't find the web site I am looking for then gives it to me.
