:x I've had THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. I spent over 30 minutes giving the rundown to Epson's 2'nd level support team on this. What type of system are you installing this on? ex motherboard type/chipset type/etc etc. My issues are on a P4 2gig/Asus P4B266 with 1gig ddr ram. MSI geforce 4 MX440 (64 meg) Nvidia. After installing the bundled software the system WILL NOT let go log in except under safe mode. Did you try a reg edit and remove all refferences to Epson? Also something else to try is after installing the Epson software close out and DO NOT REBOOT (or you'll never get in normally) and run the Epson Port uninstaller. I assume like me you'r trying to connect your C82 via USB. I've got more on this issue that might help too, but need more info from ya.
