ZIP Problems
This is a discussion about ZIP Problems in the Windows Hardware category; Hiya all, I have a 100 meg internal IDE zip drive, which as far as I can tell, works fine. The prob I'm having is I keep getting the following error in even viewer: The ZipToA service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

I have dozens upon dozens of these errors in my event view, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Look under services and find the ZipToA service and set it to manual. You won't get that annoying message in your event log anymore. I never knew what It was for and never noticed the difference after I disabled it from loading.
Actually I don't use Iomega's ZipTools since it's mainly bloat and the basic w2k support for the external zipdrive works great(enable legacy parallel port support). But then since you've got an internal IDE zipdrive, my experience doesn't applyl. But the above suggestions do apply to the 2-3 days I did have ZipTools installed.

OP
Thanks mr_yellow. I was under the impression that you needed iomegaware installed to use the drive. I guess this is nonsense, so I have removed it and everythign seems to be running fine. Thanks again for ya help.
