Problem Installing Printer Driver for Canon MP460

Guys

I successfully installed the software for my Canon MP460 MFD & started using it. Then a week or so later I tried to print something, & found the printer name & icon greyed out. It said printer driver not installed. Tried to reinstall from disk & got runtime error (PROGRAM E:DRIVERX86DRVSETUPSETUP.EXE - abnormal program termination). Same from website download. The disk doesn't give an uninstall option - when I try to remove the program, I get a longer runtime error (FAD5-9546-44f3....). Nothing I try seems to make any difference.

What Had I Done (Knowingly) Since First Installing it?
Downloaded Windows Defender & numerous Windows Updates (I had previously not had them, going back ages, despite Automatic Update being set). A recent Update included IE7.

What Have I Tried?
Reinstalling & Unistalling as above, having disabled Defender, Noron Antivirus & Windows Firewall. Also System Restore back to pre-IE7, Defender & Updates, & pre-original installation.

Aaaaarrrgghhh! Can anyone tell me what I've done &/or how to fix it? Microsoft & Canon support worse than useless.

    Thanks, ser71



    Well, I've got NOD32 now, which looks good, & downloaded & run the Canon driver, but when I go to the printer it STILL says it's not installed. Clearly something still getting in the way, or something fundamental I'm missing.

    I have replaced with a new USB 2.0 cable, & it still says the printer driver is not installed.
