You state that you typed "d:\setup.exe" to install the scanner software. Did the software instructions state explicityly that this was the location of the setup files? While this is often true, it isn't always the case. Try browsing the contents of the CD looking for anything with "setup" or "install." Often that message ("cannot find file or one of its components") simply suggests that the path is typed incorrectly. Why your autorun isn't working is another issue, but I'd have a good look through the CD before you do anything more drastic. Susan Sutherland you wrote: I received an IBM color flatbed scanner for Christmas which I have connected to my Gateway 2000 computer and all appears to be well. However, when I insert the IBM CD which has the scanner software to be installed on the PC, the CD doesn't autoload or load when I use the RUN command "d:\setup.exe". I get a message on my monitor that says: "Cannot find the file d:\setup.exe or one of its components. Make sure path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are active." ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com PCBUILD maintains hundreds of useful files for download visit our download web page at: http://nospin.com/pc/files.html
