Hi guys and grils i have an Epson R300 printer and the other day it came up with a General Error problem so i thought no problems just un-install the printer software and re-install it but no when i tried to un-install it this error came up any ideas guys n girls please lol.


C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT.The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications.Choose 'Close'to terminate the application.

And you have an otion of close or ignore but both do the same close the window and thats it HELP !!!!!

Pongo, how did you go about uninstalling the software, did you use Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel??

Also what operating system are you using?

 

I am using Windows XP Pro and i did try un-installing by using add remove programes yes .

I am also running XP Pro and also had a problem with a Printer recently. Problems uninstalling, so removed usb connection, turned pc and printer off.

PC on - reinstalled CD for printer. Reconnected USB, turned printer on.
First time it failed to fully configure

Switched all off

Restarted PC
Connected USB
Restarted Printer

All sorted

 

This is a common problem with Epson printers.

The autoexec.nt file somehow corrupts when you uninstall a printer driver and leaves you unable to re-install the status monitor for your printer.

If you drop an e-mail to; paul@diskdepot.co.uk I will forward you on a step-by-step fix (you need your windows disc), when i get in, in the morning.
