system error

[jobel60]

Hello,
I am in a life and death struggle with this damned machine and desperatly need help.
Every time I try to use a programme or install a driver I get a message saying an error to MMSYSTEM.DLL has occured and will close the programme down. When I have managed to download a driver for my printer or my scanner I cant find it in the programmes list or anywhere else. I am using ME
Any help would be appreciated

You really are a gift to the planet! I thought it would be over my head but I managed it thanks to your help. Now only my scanner to try and fix plus screen width so I dont have to scroll across all the time and yes I do have the res set to its lowest and then maybe I will be able to face the new day with a smile! thanks for the help

I would like to help you with the scanner issue, which I bet is a driver or ECP setting issue. Further the scrolling issue is very difficult to diagnose and resolve without seeing the units performance. However if you can be descriptive enough maybe we can help. I am not inclined to continue that assist in this thread due to the topic name. I would suggest you submit a new thread.
