I don't know about HP, but I have a similar situation with my Lexmark
printer.

When I bought the printer, it included some very fine software that even
included some things that corrected a hardware problem. The scan feature
included some very high resolutions and even OCR.

But when I went to Vista, all that changed. At their download website,
Lexmark said that Vista software would now be handling the fax and scan
features of the printer, that Lexmark would not be providing software to do
it for Vista.

So, I lost all those nice resolutions, OCR, and good software for cropping
and printing. It is a nightmare to do these functions now.

What looks like decent software to do the same thing goes for $79, which is
out of sight for me. Actually, that's close to what I paid for the printer!

The printer situation with Vista is not good. If the operating system is
going to do it, they ought to do it right. What's there now is clumsy and
inadequate for normal use.

Hope all that's not true for your HP, but it might be.
