"Add Printer" does NOT work!!

I recently did a restore and recovery of Win95 using my
Packard Bell disk and CD Rom.  My problem is that now when
I double click on the "Add Printer" icon, it doesn't do
anything, so therefore, I cannot get my printer set up.
Any advice on this matter?  Thank you

I rated the answer as "average" because I found that same info
in Mircrosoft.com  I am no technical wizard and have no experience
in extracting files, etc.....thanks for the help anyway.  This
is a really cool idea...having the experts exchange...Thanks

It's really difficult to see what's someone's level of expertise, that's why it's possible to add new comments to the question and that's why I offered continued help.
But thanks for the advise, I'll keep it in mind the next time.

If you still have trouble with the files, I can email them to you, or guide you through the process of extracting them from your *.cab files.
A good idea is to get the Microsoft Powertoys from: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/software/PowerToy.htm
One of these is the CAB-file viewer, so you can easily drag and drop files to your desktop or directories.

And yes, you are right about the MS site, but there are a lot of people that don't have time to search a large knowledge base or know how and where to find an answer to their problems.

Please let me know if you need more help,
Henrie.
