Corrupt WIA (WINDOWS IMAGE ACQUISITION)

S

Stockmoose16

Hello,

I installed Windows XP PRO sp 2 on my computer a few months ago.
During the install, the computer kept hanging on the WIA (windows
Image Acquisition) drivers. I eventually skipped those files, hoping
they wouldn't be too important. Unfortunately, I just purchased a
digital camera that requires WIA to run properly

To rectify the problem, I borrowed a friend's XP sp 2 disc, hoping it
would be more reliable than my disc. I performed a repair install,
but when the computer rebooted, WIA was still missing from the
system. When I go into "services" and double-click on WIA, I get the
message, "Unable to open service Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) for
reading on local computer. Error 123: The filename, directory name,
or volume label syntax is incorrect."

How do I fix this problem and why didn't the repair install fix the
issue?

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in the
System and Application logs in Event Viewer relating to the last boot in
normal mode . No Information Reports or Duplicates please. Indicate
which also appear in a previous boot.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.

Hope this helps.

installed on the computer or in the registry, even though I performed a
repair install. How do I fix the problem?
