| | Scanner Drivers not loading in Vista Home Premium I have a Lexmark 4300 Allinone and a Canon N1240U scanner. I have downloaded the Vista drivers for both devices but when Vista tries to install the drivers I get the following message: Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. Driver Name The system cannot find the file specified. Same message for both the lexmark and canon drivers I installed Hotfix 937187. Unloaded all the old programs and tried to reinstall with no luck. Can anyone provide some additional suggestions? I have an HP Media Center with Vista Home Premium. |

| | Re: Scanner Drivers not loading in Vista Home Premium Sorry John. Can you be more specific please? Part of the challenge I am having is getting the vendors to tell me exactly what the name of the drivers are and where they should be going. Everything is buried inside self extracting ZIP files.
