PC crashed
Running Windows XP Home Edition
Have fixed the crash but have a problem that I did not have before
Trying to put a HP J3680 Office Jet Multi Function printer working but get
an error saying INF file missing
Any help would be appreciated

TIA

You can visit HP's website and download the drivers, most likely the drivers
are corrupt and need to be reinstalled.

Speediest solution:
-- download from HP the latest XP driver(s) for this printer
-- uninstal the printer then instal it as new; when prompted,
/Browse to the new drivers (not those on your WinXP instal disk.)

INFormation files are not usually called by Windows or
by printer functions. They are used only to alter the OS
by loading drivers (which thereafter the Hive/Registry
will load) -- and if all INF files were deleted a good
installation would reboot just the same. So it may not
help to know what procedure or app says this file is "missing."
