I have a Canon bjc-1010 that I bought when I had Windows 98. I now have XP and know that it is not compatible. I have downloaded an updated driver through Canon, but still cannot print. Is there something I should have done other than downloading the driver? :sad:

Hiya doin' out there. :D I was wondering if there is a difference between the Windows XP distributed in N. America and the one in Europe? Is it just a matter of installing a particular language add-on (European or any other language)?

I rush in where angels fear to tread, and changed my msconfig in XP Pro 2 trying to reduce overhead. I may have disabled my firewall or something when unchecking start-up load files. Can someone tell me what file that might be so I can re-arm it? Thanks. BuddyB
