MF Toolbox setup program freezes and does not complete

[zonqueur]

Hello

I'm trying to re-install the MF Toolbox on my computer after a (painful) uninstall and no matter what I try, the setup program just freezes at the beginning.

I'm running Windows 8.1 64 bit

MF4770n Multi-function

I am an adminstrator on my PC.

I tried running the program setup.exe in administrator mode. No success

I tried running the program in "selective startup" as per other posts. No success

The drivers install without problems.

All I get is this screen:

I need my scanner. I'm out of resources...

Help please.

So, it's been 2 weeks and no one has replied.

If the Canon staff doesn't know how to fix my problem, can you at least tell me you don't know, so I can stop waiting for help?

Same problem here!

I just spent an hour with Canon tech support and he couldn't fix it either.

alobartn: I can't remember what I ended up doing exactly, but for me, I'm still using it through wi-fi to print, but when I need to scan, I simply connect a long usb cord and interface with USB instead of wi-fi. The scanning works fine now with this workaround

Furtunately I was able to do a system restore and now it works. Go figure!
