When installing a HP all in one printer the computer is very slow. I upgraded RAM to 2 GB. When I uninstall the computer is very fast as usual. Tried it twice with same problem. I am running XP SP2. HP says it the computer BIOS, Dell says BIOS is OK

But flashing the BIOS to the newest available will not hurt provided that you do it correctly and have a Backup Power available while the Flash in is progress.

Just so you know after you Flash the BIOS you'll have to enter it and reset the items as it will effectively be a New unused Computer as fart as the BIOS is concerned at least. You'll need to set the Date & Time and set it to the Default running position and you can fine tune the BIOS Settings after that.

May not be the cure it could just be that one of the applications for the printer is conflicting with existing software installed or is poorly written and chews up Clock Cycles which is slowing the computer down.

I have an almost identical situation. No one seems to have an answer. Everything works OK except that the scanner is not recognized. It copies, but cannot scan anything to the CPU. My Dell also runs like a snail even after adding 2 GB to ram, it made no difference. HELP please.
