I just upgraded my computer to a P4 with Windows XP instead of a P2 with Windows 98. I am still using the same HP 1150c Printer/Copier/Scanner. When I try to scan in an image using Adobe PhotoDeLuxe 1.0 I can do the Preview all right. Then I select the Scan feature and my CPU usage goes up to 98% with the Adobe PD hogging my system. It's not the scanner software in the HP that's the problem as that runs all right if I scan by going through Microsoft Word or Paint.  Does anybody know why the ADOBE PDL 1.0 is behaving this way ?  Do I need to download some file ?  Also if I create a Bitmap or JPG image through Microsoft Word or Paint and then try to manipulate using ADOBE PDL 1.0 the image is disjointed in the PDL.  The image is there but it looks like a jigsaw puzzle so I am afraid to proceed any further in case I corrupt the image. It all used to work fine under Windows 98.  SO I conclude that it is the XP change that has made the difference. Any ideas out there ?
