Guys
I successfully installed the software for my Canon MP460 MFD & started using it. Then a week or so later I tried to print something, & found the printer name & icon greyed out. It said printer driver not installed. Tried to reinstall from disk & got runtime error (PROGRAM E:DRIVERX86DRVSETUPSETUP.EXE - abnormal program termination). Same from website download. The disk doesn't give an uninstall option - when I try to remove the program, I get a longer runtime error (FAD5-9546-44f3....). Nothing I try seems to make any difference.
What Had I Done (Knowingly) Since First Installing it?
Downloaded Windows Defender & numerous Windows Updates (I had previously not had them, going back ages, despite Automatic Update being set). A recent Update included IE7.
What Have I Tried?
Reinstalling & Unistalling as above, having disabled Defender, Noron Antivirus & Windows Firewall. Also System Restore back to pre-IE7, Defender & Updates, & pre-original installation.
Aaaaarrrgghhh! Can anyone tell me what I've done &/or how to fix it? Microsoft & Canon support worse than useless.
