I'm trying to install my ******* scanner drivers for my CanoScan FB-630p BUT the setup won't run saying: "Can't run 16-bit Windows program" - Cannot find the file C:\...... (or one of it's components.) check the path filename and all required libraries are available. WTF is with this!??! it installs fine under 2k and I'm dead sure I had these drivers running under an earlier build of XP. Please help!

I had exactly the same problem with drivers for my Samsung printer; unzipped the files to my own location, and WinXP didn't want to know. Unzipped the files to the default location, and everything worked OK.

Does that make sense? No, it doesn't!!
