Missing Drivers

Hi



New PC with clean install of Vista, by the PC manufacturer

PC is a Shuttle XPC



When attempting to attach a new device, in my case a HP 940c printer.

What ever type of device I select from the "Add Hardware" dialog box,
nothing is listed in the next dialog where one would expect to see a list of
manufacturers. Just the message "No drivers available" or something like
that.



It has been suggested by someone in the Printers new group that the Reg key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion should be changed.



This key originally was set to %SystemRoot%\inf

I have changed this to c:\Windows\inf; c:\windows\system32\DriverStore;
%SystemRoot%\inf



Now I do get a list of Manufacturers and can now find listed my HP 940c
printer.

But... When it starts to install, about half way through it will stop, and
the message "Core program" is missing.



One point of interest, if I select Windows Update for the list of drivers,
HP is not listed....



I need help

Peter

I would think that this is a question for the manufacturer of the new PC.

Re: Missing Drivers

Nice try.
HP report that drivers are built into Vista and not avaliable from HP
Been down this road with HP support, they gave up and said it was a MS
problem.

Thanks any way

Re: Missing Drivers

Thanks for the advice.
And I will be chacing them.
But should you check the Printers and Fax new group, you will see other
users with similar problem to the one that I have found.
