Network'd Printers...

This is a discussion about Network'd Printers... in the Windows Hardware category; In Windows XP on my PC I am using a networked printer on my girlfrieds Windows ME Machine. If I try and load up certain apps (ie Word and Photoshop 6) when her PC is switched off it crashes and does that report to Microsoft crap.

In Windows XP on my PC I am using a networked printer on my girlfrieds Windows ME Machine. If I try and load up certain apps (ie Word and Photoshop 6) when her PC is switched off it crashes and does that report to Microsoft crap.
I solved the problem by making another printer the default one and then switching to the network one when I print.
Also the way that we connect our PC's isnt normal. We use a twisted cable where the wires a crossed at one end so we dont need a hub. This works OK, so I dont think its anything to do with that.
Has anyone else had a problem similar on their PC?
