Brother MFC-640CW Printer Installation Crashes SZ340P

I just got my SZ340P through Best Buy for Business. Pre-configured with XP Pro. Love it -- better than my old Acer 8200.

BUT...

I can't get my Brother Printer Installation to work. It goes through the process of installing (I've tried both the disk, and downloading the installation program, which I think are both the same version), and it simply crashes, blue screen, windows stop error at the end of the install every time. Then I can't uninstall it.

Googled around and found this may be a conflict with the on-board Vaio camera drivers, but no solution found online. Called Brother, and it's now up to "Level 5" support, but no call back.

I still can't print. The same installation disk and printer worked fine on my last computer (the acer.)

FYI, Brother's "Level 4" support gave me the following link, which I assume may be a workaround:

http://209.215.81.199/Download/MFC/FX0933/FX0933BH3e.exe

But after downloading it, it tries to unzip itself and says it has a bad header.

I've tried that several times, with different browsers.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

-dpincali, hoping to live to print again.

 

I had no problem to download this file. I've uploaded it for you as a rar file here.
I'll keep my fingers crossed.

 

Visioneer -- WOW!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you -- now, I can print again.

I downloaded that file four times before you did whatever you did, and each time I went to unzip it, i got a "bad header" message.

I downloaded yours, and it worked like a charm.

Many thanks for solving a very annoying problem.

Warm regards,
David

 

All's well that ends well!
