    try re-renaming "sfcfiles.old" to "sfcfiles.dll" in your Windows\System and ..\i386 directories....and restart your computer...See if it works:eek:hah:

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

    [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!

    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".
