I'm responding to Gerry's message of Jan. 19 - where he replied to my
problem with my scanjet 4570c and IE 7. At that time I had to reinstall my
entire system after it progressively went south. Of course I didn't
reinstall IE 7.

I now have a new Dell with Vista. I just went to the link that Gerry gives
and I see that HP does offer a Vista "basic" driver but warns it won't offer
all the features. After the nightmare I went through due to this problem I'm
cautious about downloading this driver on my new Dell. Perhaps I'd be better
off buying a new scanner that is fully Vista compatible. HP says here that
it won't be offering a full Vista driver for this scanjet. Sheesh! I'm not
happy about this!

Has anyone here downloaded this Vista driver?

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!
