    I've received the following error:

    16 bit Windows Subsystem

    C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\. A temporary file needed for initialization could not be created or could not be written to. Make sure that the directory path exists, and disk space is available. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

    Close Ignore


    ----I am attempting to add a printer, namely Lexmark X6100 (6170 Series) via the CD-ROM received with the printer. However, the above error appears after I select the 'Install' button.


    Please help me.....I have attempted to remove problems via google, spybot, ad-aware, cwshredder and many more.

    Please help me.


    Thanks in advance for all help and making this forum available.:major

    Hi


    Use something like CCLeaner or KCleaner to delete your temp folders then install the driver again, temp folders can have corrupt files in them which will give you this error.

    Also see if the printer has a newer driver.

    hey thanks for follow-up information.

    However, it just didn't work....It actually produced the exact same error box re:16 bit Windows Subsystem problem. I used ccleaner and i went to the lexmark site and dl driver to no avail.Please advise further...i should havd indicated previously that this printer was already on my computer for about 3 years and there was a problem with its printing, therefore, i figured i would remove via add/remove program and reinstall it. But, the aforementioned problem began. I hope that helps this problem because it sucks.:major
