So, when you ask what version of Vista we are using, I answered Vista
Ultimate 32 bits.

Vista Ultimate 32 bits with all updates to date.

I do not know what you are crying out loud about.

For crying out loud -- will you please answer the questions you are
asked. We are all volunteers here and can do better things than ask the
same question again and again.

Read my message to you which repeats the question I asked earlier and
that was unanswered.

You did and I missed that.

The other questions in my earlier message:

What does the error message say?

Have you tried what I indicated including after removing all traces of HP*
software and hardware on the drive and disconnecting the USB cable from the*
PC?

.... select Properties / Compatibility and on*that TAB check the box for*
Compatibility Mode XP with SP2 and then lower down*on that TAB check Run as*
Administrator

VueScan software that was found for scanner of older nature only has SJ
7400 so if you heard it will help then i have also tried it and have had
no results in getting the SJ 5200c working with vista 32 bit home

SOLUTION:

THIS IS NOT A DRIVER PROBLEM. Boo Hiss to HP and their support staff
for not sharing this.

Download the XP driver and install it normally. Prior to plugging in
the scanner, open the HP Precision Scan Properties tab and open
"security" or "permissions". Edit the "everyone" permissions to allow
FULL CONTROL.

Save and reboot, then plug in scanner.

Here is a real nice presentation on a better way of doing this:

'How to get your HP Scanjet 5300c working in Windows Vista - Publishing
- Pixel2Life'
(http://www.pixel2life.com/publish/tu...ndow s_vista/)

I had adjusted each and every part of the utility. Pixel2Lifes
solution does it in one easy swoop. Nice job Pixel2Life.

Share this. It should work for a number of different HP scanners.
AGAIN, BOO HISS TO HP FOR NOT OFFERING THIS EEEEAAASSSY SOLUTION.
