I can not install hp photsmart c4280 getting a usb.inf missing file error.

I can't install my hp photosmart c4280. I have an error that usb.nf file is missing in windows xp. I am running xp sp3 and MS Security Essentials can be removed as a threat or a virus. My printer wouldn't print and after troubleshooting it as the last resort to remove and try to reinstall the printer and then I started getting this error message. How can I solve this problem without reinstalling windows xp.

Hello lcarter72,

Have you checked to see if the files still exist in a virus vault or anything?

We will try to launch a System File Checker to see if the file can be repaired or reinstalled.

Sfc/scannow will inspect all the important Windows files on your computer, including the Windows DLL files. If the System File Checker detects a problem with any of these protected files, it will replace it. Asked may to your CD if it is necessary to reinstall a file.

To run the scannow, follow these steps

1. click on start

2. click on run

3. type CMD and press ok

4. type sfc/scannow

Note: There is a space after sfc

The program will execute and check files damaged or missing, you you may be asked to insert your CD to reinstall the files.

This thread has also some additional information, but I wouldn't recommend no download and installation of system files on the internet and try to install them on your computer.
