Help needed with a Diamond 1200 plus Scanner

wwhaydon · 08-27-2005, 10:09 PM

I bought the scanner a few days ago and couldn't install it properly.I plug in the scanner, and the Found New Hardware Wizard appears. After it comes up, I install the scanner from the CD. But the following error message comes up after the wizard finishes -
"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."
Then there are two boxes, 'Close' and 'Ignore'. Clicking either of them does nothing.
I am running Windows XP, 116mb ram and 8gb HD. I have installed all the patches available for the scanner. I have already uninstalled it and updated it.
I'd appreciate anyones help, Will.
