HP Scanjet 5200C in Vista, anyone?
We have HP Scanjet 5200C scanner.
We are in process of upgrade our computer to Dell running in Vista. We found NO HP Scanjet 5200C drivers for Vista. We tried but failed to load HP Scanjet 5200C drivers (was HP XP drivers) in Vista. Can anyone tell me what scanning freeware works on Vista and HP Scanjet 5200C? Thank you. |

HP does not supply Vista drivers for this machine. Sorry, but you are likely out of luck. |

If it's USB you must disconnect the USB cable from the PC and install the software first, then connect the USB cable when told or after Finish. If you want to try this again make sure that you disconnect the scanner, delete any icons there may be for it in a Control Panel folder, uninstall the HP software for it in Control Panel / Remove Programs and then reboot the PC to clean up. Then install the HP software but do this: if it is a downloaded file ending in .exe right mouse click on that file (if you are using an HP CD for XP look at it in Windows Explorer and find the file that starts the installation procedure, probably setup.exe) and 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 and OK your way out. If the installation does not start automatically find that same file again, right mouse click on it and select Run as Administrator on the context menu that appears and that should start it. Then follow instructions ..... But preferably come back first and say what version of VISTA you are using and more about the source of the HP software; also about how the scanner is connected. |

Most of our HP 5200C scanner are connected by USB. But a few system used parallel. Both the HP CD disc and download HP 5200C scanner drivers are for XP and will NOT install in Vista, with error during installation disc loading. |

You did not say what version of VISTA you are using -- if it's 64bit all
bets are off. In article , Adams G.H. wrote: Both the HP CD disc and download HP 5200C scanner drivers are for XP and* will NOT install in Vista, with error during installation disc loading. 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 I and others have installed much XP software both with and without Compatibility mode and it is rare for it to fail to install and run. But if you don't answer specific questions no-one can help you. |

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. |

Huwyngr, When you respond to someone and don't copy the preceding thread, you sound like you are talking to yourself. Could you please turn on the option to quote the previous question. Thanks, BobF. |

I normally do but I use an Off Line Reader that makes that unnecessary
and in any case it should be obvious who I'm addressing. Try using a threaded view and read back if you need to. |

Even using threading, not everyone's newsreader is set to display already-read messages. And in many cases, already-read messages are quickly deleted. I, for example, don't display already-read messages, since it would take me much longer to go through all the messages in busy newsgroups. And even if I haven't yet deleted the previous messages in a thread, I'm hardly ever willing to take the extra time to turn on viewing read messages and look for what you're replying to. So the simple fact of the matter is that, beside quoting being standard netiquette, if you don't do it, a large portion of the participants in the newsgroup will not be able to understand your messages, and simply ignore them. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
