Seriously get rid of windows ME downgrade to windows 98 even or upgrade. The drivers for the software will cause those type of headaches with every new piece of equipment you buy. ME has security, drivers and non-compatiablty issues.

Have you restarted the computer?  Try that and see if anything helps.  If not, click on the website below.  You may have to uninstall the scanner and reinstall it.

The one thing that you didn't mention trying is this: Uninstall the printer and reinstall the printer. Do you have the cd that came with the printer? If you do not, you can download the drivers from the HP website. ALSO you might want to see if there are updated drivers on the HP website --- Hope this helps!

Dont know why you would need to. Windows usually has a driver that will do the trick unless you have a special monitor. Here is the site tho...\nhttp://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h_pagetype=s-002&h_lang=en&h_cc=us&h_product=382087&h_page=hpcom&cc=us&lang=en&h_client=S-A-R163-1\n\nIf the monitor is working dont mess with it!

Hi,\n\nI found a firmware for your printer at HP.com\nIt says that it fixes ""Memory Full" - When loading more than one document in the automatic document feeder (ADF) to make copies, the all-in-one may display "Memory Full; Press Enter"\n\nAnd it fixes lots of other issues with this printer.

unplug the printer and plug it back in.  This should soft boot the printer and get rid of any false errors.\n\nAlthough the better option would be to replace printer with HP, that way you aren't stuck paying outrageous prices for cartridges from dell.

Well if it is like my set-up there should be an icon on your desktop but if for some reason it is missing then go to start - hp - hp director. If that doesn't work then you might have to reinstall the program.

Go to HP's page here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=390315&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&submit.y=0&submit.x=0&lang=en&cc=us\n\nSelect your operating system, then download the "HP Basic Feature software/driver: No Network Support". Full isn't necessary.

From the manual downloaded in PDF format from Brother.\n52 - SCANNER MALF - Malfunction of the laser scanner motor\nTurn off the printer.  Wait a few seconds, then turn it on again.  \n\nIf this fails, it may need service...

i bought a similar scanner and i used the microsoft plug and play wizard to install it with no problems at all and you might try contacting the person you purchased it from and see if they might be of assistance.

Is your scanner a PS2 connection scanner? if yes, make sure it is connected to only the keyboard PS2 and not the mouse one. \nIf you have check and it is correct. You can try reset the handheld scanner. Normally if you have the manual. You can find a reset bar code. Scan it and you will heard some feedback from the scanner. \n(try a couple of different bar code to verify the error)\nAfter resetting, and still won't work.\nThen i guess you have a faulty unit. Send then back for repair. But before that, perhaps you can try on another PC to eliminate PC connection problem.

what you might want to try doing is completely unisnstall the program and then with the software disk, load it according to owner's manual or on screen prompts.  i had to do that with mine beccause scanner wasn't working. it worked well.

First thing is to check it whether you have the "lock" on, which most decent scanners have to keep the scan bar in place when moving the scanner. If not then;\n\nLooks like the cogs moving the scan bar is jammed. As with all mechanical items. If not used for a while, they jam up. Open it up and see if you can manually move them around to "free them up a bit". A bit og grease may work. Don't worry about "what if it breaks" because, it's useless now and it won't work until the moving parts are going to move.\n\nPoint of not. Most, if not all scanners are not built to be taken apart. so be careful ther wise, is the casing is broken, you will need a new one.

If this is  a software from HP, maybe you need to repair it. \n\nGo to Start> >Control Panel> Add/Remove Programs> HP image software> Change button.\n\nclick next on the prompt and choose repair.\n\nlet your PC start.\n\nif this did not help, you may want to call HP support.
