You might also click - run as as administrator in the compatibility options( rarely though, this is needed). Another point is you should install the software firstly before connecting the printer, and wait till the software instructs you to connect the printer - this was the case with my hp 7150 printer for XP but this changed with Vista and W7 when they supplied a functional driver, and then it wasnt necessary - you could just leave it connected when you installed the OS, and then download and install the driver from WINDOWS UPDATE by selecting optional updates. So its hard to say, but if you connect it after the software is installed you cant loose.
