If you're talking about drivers, according to this HP webpage your scanner is not supported in Vista. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01123715&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=58381&lang=en Time to purchase a new scanner that works in your operating system.

I am aware that hp wants you to buy a new one, but I do not see why I should. I am trying to find a way to go around . Thank you >

I am trying to find a way to go around . > Thank you There is no way "around" not having the correct drivers. Drivers tell an operating system how to use a particular piece of hardware. In some cases you can use drivers for an older operating system; i.e., in your case drivers for XP. On some printer models this works. I've never heard that it works for scanners but it will cost nothing for you to try. Make a System Restore point first. Some people have reported success using VueScan. http://www.hamrick.com/ VueScan isn't free but there is a trial version so you can see if it works for you. VueScan is $80, so it might be more cost-effective to purchase a new scanner. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ
