scanner installation
I am trying to install an HP Scanjet 5p on XP Home. XP will not install WIA
drivers. It asks for files from HP. How do I stop this and get the scanner installed with WIA drivers please? MoJR

Keep in mind, most scanners (and all-in-one devices) require that the drivers and other software on the installation CD be installed before the device is hooked up. SC Tom

scanner installation
Bruce and SC Tom,
Thank you for getting back. I have downloaded the updated drivers and tried to install them. However, XP tells me it can't install the scanner. That's why I began the quest of getting XP to use the WIA drivers. I have a computer with Win XP Pro on it and the scanner installed without a hitch. Is it possible that my XP files are somehow damaged and not reacting correctly? I had the scanner installed once before, but for some reason XP stopped starting the drivers. I can't remember now if they were the twain or the WIA drivers. I don't use that computer too often. My wife routinely uses it and is not happy that the scanner is not working. So, I am actually confused about how to proceed. Any thoughts would be very much appreciated. MoJR "Bruce Chambers" wrote: MoJR wrote: I am trying to install an HP Scanjet 5p on XP Home.

How do I stop this and get the scanner installed with WIA drivers please? This is a fairly elderly scanner. It can be installed on XP but only with the drivers provided by HP. XP has no built in support for this scanner.

scanner installation
M.I.53/4 (Luv the name),
Scanner problem solved. Moved entire system to XP Pro. Problem solved. Pro installed scanner with no human intervention. I was given notice that a scanner was found and that was that. Works like a charm. Oh! and just for the record. Windows XP Home version SUUUUUUUUCKKKKS!!! I finally realized that was the actual problem from the start. I remembered having difficulty when I first installed the scanner 2 years ago on Home version. KUDOS to everyone who took a shot at fixing this problem.
