ie7 OE and HP's old Director software for scanners

[Joe]

Will we soon have a group for ie7 OE? There is one for ie6 OE.

Oh, well- I'll ask here then- ie7 has a huge conflict with HP's Director
software used for some of their scanners and all in one machines from the
early '90s- such as my scanjet 4570c. When I foolishly downloaded ie7 to my
XP box, the conflict crashed the machine so bad I had to reformat and
reinstall everything.

Someone in a newsgroup refered me to a page on HP's web site which says that
HP will not be producing a Vista driver but they have released a stripped
down driver which will work with Vista. Dam HP!

I'm wondering what would happen if I attempted to install that scanjet on my
new Dell Vista box? When I plugged in my HP LaserJet 1320 printer, Vista was
smart enough to almost instantly install a driver- I wonder what it would do
if it sees my scanjet?
