Using an HP Win 7, and a very old Microsoft Picture It! Digital Image Pro version 7. There are later versions, but I don't think MS is supporting any version for Win 7. I happen to like the program a lot, but I have others, some not yet installed. I recently installed this oldie on the Win 7, and used it for something with no problem, but when I asked it to scan something for me using the HP Photosmart C4280, it claims there's no scanner installed. For the record, I have scanned successfully on the Win 7 using IrfanView. And for the record, when it was installed on the XP, it worked just fine. I have an XP laptop and I'm thinking just to install it there, and when I need it, use the laptop. Is it possible to make a photo program see the scanner? How would I go about it? Connie in the snowy Puget Sound area.

I got 2 months free of Norton when I bought this computer, and when I went to restore files from Carbonite, I had a lot of interruptions and delays. The techs at Carbonite were pretty certain it was Norton causing these very annoying interruptions. I'm planning to get MSE going soon and uninstall the Norton. l'm hoping to find an uninstaller for it once I determine which Norton I have (I think it's 2012) ... I have found you usually have to use Norton's uninstaller to get everything that needs to come off, off. Connie Me, too; and McAfee right behind it. Neysa This is one of the prime reasons that I will not allow a Norton program on any computer I own or help out with. Why should some unknown person say what I can or cannot run on my computer. Did he pay for it? Does he own it? They act li9ke they do. When I ran a dial up bulletin board back before the internet became common, if a person was having problems connecting, he/she was ALWAYS running Norton. I remove Norton from my computers just as soon as I can. Aloha Wayne, NH6K

Why should some unknown person say what I can or cannot run on my computer. Did he pay for it? Does he own it? They act li9ke they do. When I ran a dial up bulletin board back before the internet became common, if a person was having problems connecting, he/she was ALWAYS running Norton. I remove Norton from my computers just as soon as I can.

There should be a way from within the program to make it accept this. You did a go-round that sometimes must be used, but shouldn't be necessary to installing a program. Can someone with Norton help here?
