The HP website says no drivers will be provided for Win 7.

Came across this software app (VueScan) from Hamrick that reportedly overcomes the issue of manufacturers not updating their scanner drivers for newer operating systems.

I’ve used VuePrint (but not VueScan) from Hamrick and have had good results. Perhaps VueScan might resolve your issue.

There is a free trial version available.

Sorry Stephen, I should have added that I will be going off air for awhile. I broke my wrist 7 weeks ago and the bones are not healing as expected. I am heading to the hospital tomorrow (Saturday) for surgery. They’re going to insert pins and some gawd awful contraption called an external fixation. So, not sure when I’ll be back on line. Perhaps some other folks can jump in here to continue helping you.

I did install XP first although it was an image rather than an actual clean install would this make a difference? Also

Not sure if it would make a difference. However, if the image contains corrupted sectors, then they would be restored in bad shape. Which imaging program was used to create that backup? Some imaging apps allow a chkdsk to be run against the imaged backup file. For example Shadow Protect does have that feature. Not sure about others like True Image.

It is happening again I have over 1300 errors in event viewer in both the application log and security log. In the application log they are mostly:
Source: ESENT
Event ID: 455
Task Category: Login/Recovery
In the system log they are mostly
Source:Ntf
Event ID: 55
Task Category: 55 (2)
I tried to take a screen shot but when I tried to save it I was told “disk structure corrupted and unreadable”
Any thoughts?

The NTFS Event ID 55 is not good. The descriptive should tell you the volume name that has the corruption. That would tell you whether it is your XP or W7 environment. Obviously, you will have to run another chkdsk /r against that volume.

So far this afternoon it is behaving. I will run chkdsk /r on the XP partition as well. Would it have been better to install Windows 7 first then Xp or doesn’t that make any difference?

1st – glad the system is behaving. Let’s hope it stays that way.

2nd – cannot comment on dual boot environments. Have no experience along those lines as have never seen need to run two O/Ses.

Bob: I did set the power options to high performance as soon as it booted up after the install. I will runn chkdsk /r when I get home this afternoon. Is there a difference between scheduling it through cmd or using Windows7 ?

There is no difference between running through the cmd or using Windows 7 assuming you select the right parameters. With cmd you would be using the /r parameter. With Windows 7 | Drive? | Properties check off both Auto fix… and Scan for… As you no doubt are aware, either will process on rebooting.
