Unable to add a printer

[SPX-7]

I'm running WinME and trying to add a new printer but everytime I go to the
control panel then to printers and click add new printer nothing happens.
The hour glass comes up for a second then it goes away and the add new
printer wizard never come up. Does anyone know why? Please help.

Possibly a registry issue.

Try Start | Run and type "scanreg /fix" (no quotes and note the space
between g and /) in the box, then click OK.

See if that helps. Good luck

Thanks Mart I tried doing that but the Run function wasn't working either. I
just re-installed WinME seems okay now it was just a hassle. Thanks for the
help though.
