Hi! Regarding this matter. The dell photo AIO 962 may not be compatible with windows 7 thats why it gives you the error message. You downloaded the driver using vista32 but you have a windows 7 on you machine, its not gonna work. It may work on the toshiba if you gonna downgrade from windows 7 to vista, but if you dont want that option you can wait for sometime to have an AIO 962 update for windows 7 for it to work. Hope this helps and have a good one!

according to this website - its not compatible with windows 7 - scroll down and you will find your model and the windows versions it works with

Disconnect the printer from your PC.

Go to the Support section of Dell's web site, download the latest driver for your printer.

Install the software. Connect your printer when instructed to, or after the software install has completed.

Let me know if you still have issues :)

Download and install the printer firmware . I am hoping that model AIO 960 is the same as yours.

I had the same problem and was able to fix it by following the instructions in this link:

Apparently, the regular uninstall procedure does not completely uninstall the software drivers. Then, if new drivers or software are installed, a conflict is created between the old drivers and the new drivers. You have to first run the DellXPCleanUpUtility to completely clean out the old software drivers. Then, you can install the new drivers successfully.

I had the same issue after downloading the Dell AIO 962 printer update. What worked was using the uninstall mode on the original Dell CD that came with the printer followed by a fresh install from the aforementioned CD. Be sure to uninstall all copies of the drivers before doing the new install. Good Luck!

I have the same problem. cant get it to work on vista
