In reply to hp sj 4200c running on win ME
first off is this definately the sj4200c or is it the sj4200cse???
secondly , does your system freeze occasionally???
you may try this…
first be sure to uninstall the current scanner software & all drivers.
now goto start – run and typein msconfig , now click ok ,,,the top of the next screen has tabs at the top , click on the start up tab ,,,how many items here have a check mark???you may uncheck al of them except sys tray / scan reg / and a keyboard manager if one is there ,now once all other checks are removed , click apply then ok ,you will be prompted to re-start the system
…once restarted it might be a good idea to run a thurough scandisk & defrag {that is if you haven’t done it lately}
goto start/programs/accessories/system tools , click on scandisk , click thurough , now click start , once this done go back to start/programs/accessories/system tools and now click on disk defrag , let that run ,,,when done shut down the system for 5 minutes or so ….
now if this a usb scanner , dissconnect it from the computer , now reboot nd try to run the win me install cd ,,,,,,,
good luck
