I don't know what "p drivers" are, but if these are "printer" drivers, and
are giving you blue screens,

a) Go to the manufacturer's website to get different drivers
and
b) check out the first line of the BSOD to see what it says if this problem
recurs *after* you've tried that.

You can tell Windows not to reboot after a BSOD - control panel | system |
advanced | startup & recovery settings. Untick "automatically restart."

Also, for future reference, this isn't the best group for your question -
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general would be better. But always include as
much detail as possible when posting anywhere. Check out "Help us to help
you" at http://dts-l.net/goodpost.htm

Had the same problem with a Samsung printer. The answer (through trial
and error) was the USB port. I was attempting to use a port in an add-on
PCI card. When I used the original motherboard ports, the problem
disappeared.
