SELPHY CP1300 Unable to install on computer

cp printer-related file in use - Can't do Anything!

I am trying to hook up my older Selphy CP1300 to a computer.  I finally got the software and it didn't load properly.  It keeps giving me the "cp printer-related file in use" error and telling me to stop that and possibly reboot the computer and try again.  None of that works.  I did see that something appears to have loaded, as there is a Canon Selphy CP1300 in the add/remove files in the Control Panel.  So, I tried to uninstall it, but I get the same message again!

I have also gone into the services area and restarted the print spooler.  Still nothing works.  So, anyone have any idea on how to get this resolved?  I do not want to be paying $20 per incided for Canon direct assistance.  That seems like quite the rip off.
