"Drivers of this nature should include information on what updates need to be installed in order for them to function properly. I had to go to the manufacturers website and get an older version of the file for the device to function at all. I also suspect this file may be corrupt. The install seemed to hang for a second and continue. The file I got from the proprietor didn'

"I hope I'm right here, I believe this is the driver I downloaded for the same device I'm having so much trouble with now. Judging by the date that I supposedly downloaded it, I pretty sure that it is the one. I had originally downloaded it for the scanner that I was using on a different computer. Same operating system, and a somewhat less stable computer. The reason I'

m trying to install it on my present computer is, the other computer was in the process of dying, and I just got tired of fighting and waiting on it. The scanner was the most efficient piece of equiptment that was attatched to it. And, it was with this driver."

"Occasionally get an error/conflict-w/WinXP message declaring that an updated file from the manufacturer is needed (HP, in this case) but have not been able to locate said file w/in HP's site. Overall, the scanner itself functions fine w/the driver."

"Ive been using Visioneer 5800 for over a year. Do I have anything good to say about this scanner. No. this is the worst scanner I have EVER owned.

Why? This software visioneer has to download isn't worth dirt. The scanner only likes to scan one time per session. So if you have to scan any documents in- you'll be ending "One-Touch" monitor for every flipping p

Purchasing this scanner was the biggest mistake I have ever bought for any computer."
