Check the file size (should be around 93-94K). Compare the >one in Windows\System32 vs the one in the i386 folder of the service pack. File size? what file name? Location? I did the "stop" in admin services, but when I reboot ---services still say stopped but the driver shows up in task manager as running ????? Where do I now find "Start Uo" programs and "Run Services" in XP Pro?

Then right mouse click the service and disable --but you said you did that. If you have disabled a service and it's still running then it is either started by another application or it is not what it appears to be. Try renaming the file to let's say sCardSvr2 this way whichever app is running it, will not be able to run it. Either that or get a utility like System MEchanic..

Either that or get a utility like System >MEchanic.. well --- I trash canned two of the four (the ones with size different from 94KB. Changed nothing. Also, the four Explorer search finds are named either SCRDSVR or scrdsvr (all lower case or all upper case) The one running in task manager is SCrdSv and it doesn't come up in a search. Again, where is the file of things that are stared at boot-up. They were easy to find in eaelier Windows but I haven't found them in XP

Wished you had done your research more carefully the next time before posting. That was *not* what you posted originally (you stated SCrdSvr) > Again, where is the file of things that are stared at boot-up. > They were easy to find in eaelier Windows but I haven't found > them in XP There is no such file. Again, the only proper way of stopping or changing services is through the Service Management Tool (Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services). The other way to examine services is to run "msconfig". You're on your own now..
