Hi tillo4 and welcome to the forums.

What printer do you have? Just download the drivers from the printer manufacturer's website or just google for them and then try Xerox Phaser 8400

Cheers,

Go to...
"Control Panel"
"Printers"
Click on "File" and choose "Add Printer"

If you don't have the "printer drivers" installed, you'll have to try to manually load them by telling Windows you have a disk when it asks for the drivers.

Good luck.

Well you may need to reinstall Vista or try this method - Repair Install For Vista

However you may find that you"ll have to do a total OS reinstall.

Good luck
