xp compatibility w/ HP Scanjet 4100C
This is a discussion about xp compatibility w/ HP Scanjet 4100C in the Everything New Technology category; I hope I put this in the right place. A friend recently purchased a Dell with Windows XP. It won't let her install the original driver for her HP Scanjet 4100C scanner (keeps saying not compatible with XP, and can't bypass).
I hope I put this in the right place. A friend recently purchased a Dell with Windows XP. It won't let her install the original driver for her HP Scanjet 4100C scanner (keeps saying not compatible with XP, and can't bypass). When I try to download the driver from HP, it says it's an upgrade only. When I try to install it, it errors out and says it can't.
Does anyone know if this scanner is compatible and, if so, where I can get the driver? ?

OP
Thanks for the URL.
It looks like the hits are either for ME, or you need to use the W2K CD to get XP to work, plus manipulate regedit, which my friend isn't comfortable with on her new machine. I think she's probably just going to purchase a new one instead of try the latter choice.

I've been using the 6300 softaware since XP was in Beta for my 4100c. The front buttons don't work half the time so I lanuch from the start menu.

You might try the button fix file. I can't remenber if I have or not. Also you may have problems installing on a system that you have tried other drivers and fixes so you might have to do a clean install of Windows. This would be best anyway. Hope this helps.
