Boot the computer with the scanner turned off or disconnected. 2. Install HP PrecisionScan 1.02 and DON'T reboot yet. 3. Run the Windows 2000 patch 4. Reboot with the scanner connected and turned on. 5. Windows will complain about hpppt.exe not starting, so go to Start-Programs-Startup and delete the shortcut to "HP Parallel port test" 6. Open the registry (start menu - run, type "redegit"), go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunOnce and delete the item with "hpppt" in it. 7. Reboot. 8. If any drivers for the 5100C scanner got installed, uninstall them (don't uninstall the software!) 9. If not already installed, install the 4100C drivers found on the Windows 2000 CD. 10.
