Have you got XP SP2? If not then install it… there might be a possiblity that your windows installes has been corrupted.

Have you tried installing your printer after SP2…?

xxc00lmanxx · October 19, 2006, 11:08pm

Yup:dry:

Model of your printer?.. Try installing drivers from the Manufacturers website..

xxc00lmanxx · October 19, 2006, 11:18pm

Its a BJC - 250 Lite ill look around. But i already got drivers from driverguide.com

[link=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/293360]A list of printer drivers that are included in Windows XP[/link]
and it includes your printer as well, which means that you dont need to install the drivers for your printer through a software package… Just use add new hardware wizard and select that printer throught it!

xxc00lmanxx · October 19, 2006, 11:48pm

I get the driver off the canon web page and this is wat i get

system · October 19, 2006, 11:51pm

Use “Continue Anyway”…I’ve also got a TV Tuner card and I get this error always when I try to install its software on my computer and they have written in their manual that use “Continue Anyway”.

xxc00lmanxx · October 19, 2006, 11:57pm

xxc00lmanxx · October 20, 2006, 12:00am
