Vista crashing when installing drivers for Xerox Phaser 6110MFP
Every time I try to use the installation CD which came with a Xerox Phaser
6110MFP to install the drivers and utilities software on a Dell Inspiron 530 w/ 32-bit Vista OS, the OS crashes. I have to boot up in safe mode and restore back before the installation of the drivers. Same thing happens when I try to use the drivers downloaded from the Xerox website. I was able to get the printer (but not scanner) functioning by just plugging in the USB printer cable and letting Vista autodetect the new device and install a driver on its own, but that still leaves me without the scanner and the utilities package. Xerox claims they don't know what's going on, and I believe them. Any suggestions??? Thanks for your help.

Vista crashing when installing drivers for Xerox Phaser 6110MFP
Hi,
Was the system operating normally prior to the installation of the additional hardware? Did you install the software prior to attaching the device? Are the software and included driver files certified as Vista compatible? At what point of setup does the crash occur? -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Sean Forehand" wrote in message ...

You can check the drivers using Vista's Driver Verifier Manager. Read Greg
