Hi, Can anyone recall having any issues installing a Hewlett Packard C4180 All-In-One Printer/Scanner/Copier on a WinXP machine please? The printer came with install CD's for Mac & Vista only, but I have found and download drivers from the H-P web site compatible with XP (Software & Driver downloadsHP Photosmart C4180 All-in-One Printer). The problem: When installing, the process reaches the 3rd stage of 5 and the PC suddenly pops up a warning that the system will restart in 35 (or so) seconds. The install then fails. This happened 4 times in total with Anti-Virus enabled and disabled. Thanks for any help.

1. Even if the install package failed, does the printer work?

2. Open your Device Manager
click on View ... Show hidden devices

Click on and Delete (with the Delete key) any devices that have a ? or ! in front of them.
If the Device Manager has an "Other" device category, open it and Delete any devices in the "Other" category.
Now, reboot.

The reboot will force Windows to refind the deleted devices and hopefully see them for what they are.
After rebooting, give Windows time to locate and properly install the deleted devices.

Go to the Device Manager and verify that all your devices are listed correctly.
