I recently bought a USB Lexmark X1190 all-in-one. It installed on my Windows XP Pro with no problems and works great. However, as soon as I restarted my computer, Windows re-detected the printer for some reason, and came up with a "Found new hardware" message saying that installation could not be completed because a file was missing... it didn't specify which file though, and it was working fine before the restart. The wizard only has the "Finish" button available, and when you click it, it pops up again and again and...
I've tried re-installing the device several times, both over the top of the previous installation and also removing the device completely, uninstalling all its software and drivers, etc. and yet every time I restart after a sucessful installation, Windows seems to think its not done yet and can't find this mysterious file! There is no way of getting the wizard to check the installation CD... just the "Finish" button, which brings the same box up no matter how many times you press it. Despite this message that won't go away, the device works perfectly well, and Device Manager reports no issues.
In desperation, I installed the printer on another XP Pro machine, and it worked and restarted fine, no problems. It seems something on my main XP Pro machine is making Windows think that installation is not complete.
Any suggestions?
