Had same problem with my final version of XP for "well known make" of TV card and modem. Lack of Drivers on the net for this OS at that time .Visits to manufactures web sites some weeks later showed the drivers are now available. Downloaded and peripherals now working. More appearing daily eg Hewlett Packard site now very XP friendly. Keep trying. Some manufactures say Windows 2000 drivers will work on XP OS

I tried to install on my new dell computer windows xp. sent to me from dell. My printer was supposed to be supported (so the web site says) but after spending at least 1 hour on the phone (toll call) HP could not solve my problem and told me to call windows xp people (another toll call). i have a hp 1220c printer. HP is not xp friendly..

your suggestion to change Bios Hardware to EPP has solved a problem for me after two weeks of research. My problem was with a downloaded XP driver for a Canon S400, so it seems to be a universal panacea. It turns off enable P+P and yet on restarting it says new hardware found. The mysteries of our world. Thanks again

Summary: Try unistalling, restart computer and do not use software that came with your scanner and camera. Xp had drivers for my hp scanner and fuji camera . Hope it works. It took me almost a month of BS to l...
