I feel like the lost helicopter pilot in fog asking someone in the Microsoft
building where he was. The reply was "you are in a helicopter" Absolutely
correct but of now help whatsoever!

Here is what the error code means

1804 0x0000070C The specified datatype is invalid. ERROR_INVALID_DATATYPE

but what the meaning means and what to do about it I don't know.

However I'll do a bit more searching with friends on the Compuserve Forumsbut
the error message may help some of the WIndows Gurus here.

That it was OK for 3 months would tend to indicate that something changed in
VISTA and let's face it some of their updates do break things.

Are you able to roll back with System Restore to a point before it acted up?
Or uninstall updates from Windows Update over that period and see if that
cures it.

PS This is not a printer on a network is it or a shared printer in any way?
