SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you attempt to print or to choose Print Setup from the File menu,
Microsoft Money may stop responding (hang) and the hourglass cursor may
flicker. This problem may occur even when other Windows applications are
able to print.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
To resolve this problem, set a different printer as the default printer,
and then return to your original default printer and reset it as the
default.
 
To change the default printer in Windows 3.x, follow these steps:
 
1. In Program Manager, switch to Control Panel and from the Settings menu,
   choose Printers. Make a note of the current Default Printer.
 
2. In the Printers dialog box, choose Add.
 
3. In the List Of Printers box, select a printer. Because the printer you
   select does not affect this procedure, select any printer from the list.
 
4. Choose the Install button to add the printer to the Installed Printers
   box.
 
   NOTE: If Windows prompts you to insert a specific Microsoft Windows
   disk, select a different printer from the List Of Printers and
   install it.
 
5. Choose Set As Default Printer.
 
6. In the Installed Printers box, select your original default printer (the
   one you noted in step 1) and choose Set As Default Printer.
 
If the above procedure does not resolve the printing problem in Money, you
should remove the printer from Control Panel, delete the .DRV file, and re
install the printer.
 
For more information about how to perform this task in Windows, see your
Windows printed documentation or online Help.
