Digital BW, The Print

Friends, I have run into a dead end while trying to install the 
drivers for my R2400 with the provided install disc. It gets through 
the first few windows until the image that instructs you to hook to 
printer to the computer. When I do this, I get a message: "Files 
Needed The file epppdtmn.sys on Epson 1394.3 printer Install Disk One 
is needed." When I browse for that file, it is not in the folder. I 
eventually get a message from Windows indicating that there is a 
problem with the installation and that the device may not work. At the 
end of the process I installed the Epson Guide, but none of the 
drivers. I have tried the install several times with the same outcome. 
I then downloaded the drivers from Epson with the same result. I have 
been using the firewire connection but will try the USB when I get 
home. Is it possible that the problem is with Windows? Suggestions? 
Thanks.
