HP Director Problem??

General, Tech - 8 Comments » - Posted on December, 16 at 6:08 am

I aint talking about the director(s) of Harry Potter movies :mrgreen: . I m talking about the software HP Director (now HP Solution Center), provided with HP scanners for scanning documents/images.

Well some thing about HP-Compaq really piss me off are:

  • Their printer cartridges are so very costly, that i have to think thrice before printing anything.
  • Their softwares are so buggy, they hang at any moment and cause the system to crash
  • They never make any professional softwares… like the HP Director which is written in XML (thnx to Ankit for telling that its written in XML), depends on IE.

Now this post is for the ppl like me who have HP Director and it has stopped working for no reason. Well its because DIrector depends upon IE, and if u have upgraded to IE 7, then u must un-install it to use Director. But if u r a fool like me to have deleted the un-install files, then u have to download this to use HP Director again, or u can be happy with Windows own Scanning and Printing Wizard or u can re-install Windows and not install the IE 7!!

Download the file from the above link, and install it over-writing ur current installation of HP Director. Then u can scan like before.

For n00bs, IE = Internet Explorer

    HP director is NOT in HTML , no software can be written in HTML , it uses XML and other programming elements which ensures its dependancy upon IE for its script executing needs.

    I always knew that these softwares from HP are crappy. If I’m not wrong, there is a generic scanning software which comes bundled with Windows.

    Did you try using it ?
