Q: The new computer has Vista. The PSC 1510 All-in-One is my two-year-old worked-fine-on-XP printer. Actually the printer works fine with Vista, it's the software to use the scanner that won't install. When I try to install the scan utilities from the disk (or the hard drive, since I copied the files to a temp folder also), I first get an error about incorrect OS - the usual "Not compatible with Windows 6.0". So I ran the installation executable in XP-compatible SP2 mode. This time the error is "Unable to install in 'Run As' Mode" and tells me to install from administrator's account. My account is the administrator- I executable as administrator anyway. Same error message. I ran HP's driver check-up and it came back fine. I tried to install the driver downloaded from the website - same issue. Is there a way to make the installation software think it's not being used in "Run as" mode?
A: i had an hp 1200 series all in one w\ scanner and it would not work w\ xp, i installed over and over and it wouldn't work. as soon as i installed vista it was plug and play, fully functional without installing anything from the discs.
