"Cannot complete operation" when I click 'Add Printer'

I have admin status, but it won't even let me try to
install a printer; it just gives me the above message
whenever I try!

Thanks,

On a seperate note, when I tried to intall DirectX 9b, it
said that the software hadn't been microsoft verified o.0
so I am trying their solution, but when I type:

net stop cryptsvc
ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2
net start cryptsvc
exit

in the cmd line, the second line spits out a 'cannot find
file' error.

Any thoughts?

Make sure you are actually trying to install a Windows XP compliant printer
driver. You may need to download one from the printer manufacturer's web
site.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
