I have an HP Officejet T45 connected to my computer. Unfortunately, the version of the software I install (windows XP version off of the HP website) seems to not let me install common executions installations (winzip, small games, etc)

So what's the problem with this? Is there anyway to fix this? It's happened a few times so far, and I had to reformat my system to have it working normally (and not install the drivers for the printer)

Instead I'm using R45 drivers, which has been working fine for quite sometime, but does not offer all the features I would like it to that the HP software has (DPI recognition, printer setup settings, advanced HP color profiles, etc). Ofcourse it's risky, but this R45 thing will have to hold until I find a solution.

:confused:

I have no idea what you're saying. Do you have any error messages or screen shots you can share?

"win32 is not a valid application"

and then installations exit, or I get system hangs

So you install the printer software, then you're unable to install other software?
