sorry for late reply.Last time, i have installed it without any problems. I have searched that some updates from winUpdate might have caused spooler issues. Luckily today, I have managed to fix the "add printer" issue. But still 1 of the required drivers for my printer always fails to install. I have downloaded the right driver for the model and its corresponding os(Windows 7). I don't want to do a fresh install for i will have to download those bunch of hotfixes again. >.< | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number ECS
