ive been to epson website downloaded the program i need but it wont install keep getting same error message.they told me its something to do with my computer- You should mention the printer model. Make sure the drivers you download is specifically for Windows XP. If not, don't even try to install it. Just use the generic XP drivers if available. XP does not even have DOS, so if your printer is really old, you might not be able to use it with XP. You cannot install dos or 16 bit software at all.
