My brother's computer is running Windows XP Home
(upgrade). He upgraded from ME. The computer is a Dell
8100, with Rambus memory, 512 RAM, 20GB HD, 30GB second
HD, and it runs just fine except for the 2355 problem..
We have tried twice to install an HP PSC 2355 all-in-one.
Everything goes just fine until the last waiting for the
Congratulations! screen. At that point the hard drive
just keeps spinning. This install envolved two different
machines, 3 sessions with HP support, 20 hours,
uninstalling software, reinstalling software, and
registry editing. All without success. The software is
installing OK according to HP support. It prints, copies
just fine, but application hangs when trying to scan
(hard drive spinning).
I have run out of tricks, any ideas?
I am at the point of doing a restore, repair, clean
install, any suggestions?
Is the Windows XP upgrade disc capable of doing a clean
install?
Any and all suggestions or help will be greatly
appreciated. Thank you.
