I rebooted my whole computer, and reinstalled everything in my drives.
All I needed was to install the printer CD.
Which I did, And clicked on " Install now"

Suddenly, I get this message:

missing 16-bit module COMM.DRV

Can anyone help out here? I got no idea whatever the hell this is about.
If I need to down load anything or something, please post them.
Explain why it is doing this. Please, I got a project to print out.

that error message usually means that u are missing something on the install disk, that means its missing data inorder to install the product. its weird for it to happen with a install disk, it usually happens when u download stuff off the interent and it doesnt install all the way because u didnt download all the files nessary, try to clean the disk, sometimes cd just lose data due to damage, and then reinstall. if that doesnt work uninstall all your printer stuff that u have installed and try again.
