What resolutions are you scanning at? If set to say the 'best' --- your
machine is doing what it should unless you have one powerhouse machine. What
happens when you scan at say 150 or 300 dpi?

Mine works this sameway on a 200 mhz w/64mbs RAM--- anything less than
600dpi does ok. But say it's at 2100 and well, it'll be awhile before the
scan is complete and nope, the system doesn't like to be used during the
process.

I didn't use updated drivers for win98, used the same ones that came with it
for 95. However, it did take me about 3 software installs to get it right
:-)

Check device manager and make sure every driver is it's 'own' by checking
'driver info.' If vmm32 is in parenthesis, you need to extract the file
listed to your windows\system and\or windows\system\vmm32 folder. If you
don't, scanner problems are but the beginnings of your troubles.

You could also check with HP's website--- fantastic company with fantastic
support.

good luck
