| 429150 | 2006-02-10 23:39:00 | Hi fellow F1ers, Its been a while, but I had to re-install Windows XP SP2 on my computer. I started from scratch. A few days ago, I successfully installed two printers, a PDF printer and a Brother printer. Today, trying to print out a page, I find there are no printers installed. I click on 'Add a printer', but I get 'operation could not be completed' Have tried to see online what the problem is, but to be avail. NB: I am still installing SP2 security updates. Could this be the problem? Thanks, Mister harbies |

| 429153 | 2006-02-12 11:52:00 | Cicero, I didn't have the drivers installed anymore, so I could not remove them. They just disappeared and then would not let me install new ones. Yesterday, I tried to turn on my computer, but could not get pass the boot screen, so I did a repair of my windows installation, and the drivers are now back there. No worries now. |
