And there are some other options as well which have been discussed in IE
General since IE7 came out.

If you have one of the printers listed below, the link will solve your
problem and give your printer a whole new look on the monitor.

PSC 1100, PSC 1200, PSC 1310, PSC 1340, PSC 1350, PSC 1400, PSC1500, PSC
1600, PSC 2100, PSC 2170 series all-in-one.

HP Solution Center:
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/softwar...o1-Express.exe

Save it to a folder on your HDD and Run from there. Choose Full Installation
when you see the prompt.

Remove the old software in Add/Remove first and unplug the cable connecting
the printer to the computer before installing.

If you don't have a printer listed above, this workaround will get you into
the HP Director until HP comes out with a patch.

Delete the HP Director icon, then copy/paste this link into browser bar,
then click enter:

http://www.geocities.com/contacthptech/hp1.js

Save it to the Desktop. Click on that icon and then Run. The HP Director
opens.

Several weeks ago, I discovered that IE 7 was automatically
downloaded- so I installed it. Then I started having problems- I
couldn't run HP's Director program for printers, scanners and all in
one units. Because I'm always making changes to my computer, I didn't
connect the dots back to the IE 7 installation.

As I tried to fix Director, my computer became ever more unstable
until I had to reformat and reinstall everything, which made me
rather unhappy- especially not knowing what caused the problem.

So, I was happy to read in the Feb. issue of PC World that this is a
known problem- IE7 causes the Director program to fail. On page 47,
it does give an URL to a fix.

So, beware of this bug, unless you like formatting and reinstalling
everything!
