| | Windows can't open Add Printer (0x000000c1) I have Vista Home Premium running on my laptop. I have an HP C5280 All-in-One printer on a desktop Vista machine. When I go through the control panel to printers and select "add printer", I get this error message: Windows can't open Add Printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x000000c1) What is going on?

| | Re: Windows can't open Add Printer (0x000000c1) I have followed Bruce Sanderson's "Clean Printer Drivers" instructions (note: the script does not work on Vista but I followed his instructions on manually editing the registry) and I still get the same error message!

| | Re: Windows can't open Add Printer (0x000000c1) Okay, I tried the run as... suggestion. This time I received a "printui.exe - Bad image" error message. It states: C:\Windows\system32\tcpmonui.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your sys admin. Hmm, where does the system get tcpmonui.dll ? Please don't say I have to reinstall Vista! *smile* Amy -- akreiling ------------------------------------------------------------------------ akreiling's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/akreiling.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-print-fax/1049502.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

| | Re: Windows can't open Add Printer (0x000000c1) Maybe you could try and do a system restore to a date earlier then when the 32 bit software was installed.
