CJ Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I have just bought a Lexmark 1200 series all in one printer / scanner / copier. I have tried to install the software but I am getting the following error: C:\windows\system32\autoexec.NT The system file os not suitable for running MSdos or Windows applications. I then sent an error report to Microsoft and they suggested (via a web page) I do the following: This problem occurs when Windows XP cannot access a file because of a problem with the hard disk that the file is stored on or with the drivers for a storage medium. When this problem occurs, Windows XP closes the program. Back to the top Back to the top WORKAROUND To work around this problem, follow these steps: 1. Identify the file that cannot be opened. To identify the file, follow these steps: a. Click Start, click Run, type EVENTVWR, and then click OK. b. In Event Viewer, click Application log. c. Click the Source column heading to sort the list by source and to list all the Application Error sources at the top of the list. d. Search for an event with a source of Application Error and an event ID of 1005. e. Double-click this event. f. The file that cannot be opened will be listed in the Description box. Note the file name, and then close Event Properties. 2. Try to open the file again. The problem may have been temporary and may not occur when the program runs again. 3. If you cannot open the file, verify and repair the hard disk file system with the Chkdsk.exe program. Follow these steps: a. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK. b. Type chkdsk /f, and then press ENTER. You are prompted to schedule Chkdsk to run when the computer restarts. c. Press Y. d. Restart the computer. What can you folks recommend?

Thank you old fruit. I am just downloading the driver direct from the Lexmark site that is supposed to me for XP, 2000 etc. Lets see if that does the trick eh?

CJ Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 It was this one here. OK, so you can undoubtedly get a better quality for scanning etc but for the money it seems ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
