error on reinstalling hp psc 1310 series printer

[vuwanrai]

I have a hp psc 1310 series printer. due to some software problems I uninstalled the drivers through "add or remove programme". I also deleted manually all related HP entries from the registry and Programme files. Now when I try to reinstall the drivers through the HP cd, the following error message shows:
"access denied
F:\setup\hpzprl01.exe -m preloadproduct drivers -1 ENU -f C:\WINDOWS\hpoins 04.dat -Validate No -w5...." and the installation stops.
Please help!!! I use XP SP2.

are you following these steps..
=>Do not Plug the Printer to the USB port of PC
=>Insert the Installation CD & follow the steps
=>When the Installation Wizard asks to Connect the Printer, then only Connect it & then Follow the onscreen instructions.

& does any problem pop up when you open any other apps.

 

[vuwanrai]

I installed the XP myself and no, no pop-ups, everything is running fine. And by the way, thanks for sticking with me so far!

no probs.

so you bought XP separately.

well next time dont edit anything in Registry yourself, use TuneUp Utilities 2007 to edit, it has a registry backup feature, so any mistakes you make, can be undone
use CCleaner for cleaning Junk/.tmp files.
