Hp SJ 5200C
I have a very old scanner, an HP SJ 5200C. Now before everybody laughs and
tells me a should buy a new one I will probably consider that option so I just need an interim solution. I need a twain driver that Vista can understand for this scanner or find out why the HP SJ software drivers will not work in Vista for this model. The error I get in Vista in the device manager is "A service installation section in this INF is invalid" Here are the files the software needs to run: HPSCNMGR.DLL, HPSCNTST.DLL, HPSJ32.DLL, HPSJRREG.DLL, HPSJUSD.DLL, HPSJVSET.DLL, REG32.DLL So basicially is there anything I can do to make the software work or find a twain driver (or something similar) that Vista can understand to run the scanner in the Windows Fax and Scan program. Miracles would be welcome.

Well you could modify the INF file(open it in notepad) and remove the
incorrect service installation section. TTFN. -- There are three types of people in computing, those that can count and those that can't.

The sj662 is a free download from the HP website. For those in the forums
who are perhaps far more insightful into the programming aspects, could someone please look at the INF file and see what needs to be altered? regards Robert "The Unknown P" ( ) wrote in message ...
