Hey
I just re-installed XP and had the same problem I always have: The HP4200C ScanJet will not work. I got the sj655en.exe 30MB software & driver download from the HP site, and it just does not work. The scanning application freezes while showing the splash screen image.
Somewhere on the HP site I remember finding something about an issue with nVidia motherboard / USB / HP 4200C Scanjet, but I cant find it again, and in any case they provided no workaround.
Last time I installed XP, about a year ago, miraculously the thing worked (provided I didn't use the buttons on the scanner and never switched it on until the pc was up and running ... but it worked ...), but I have no recollection of doing anything special.
If anyone could help or have solved a similar issue, I'd greatly appreciate hearing about it.
Sincerely
Kim
