I have an HP psc 2175 All-In-One connected to my PC running on Vista Premium.
The HP website says that this equipment's updated driver is already included
within Vista. Every time I run Windows Update, it recommends the
installation of the updated driver "Hewlett-Packard - Other Hardware - hp psc
2170 series". But, the installation always fails with "Error Code 800F0101",
which I can't seem to find the description of anywhere on the Microsoft
website. I can use the printer with limited properties, but cannot import
any scanning functions into Windows Photo Gallery. Can anybody please help
me get my scanner back??

Hi there,

Taking OPTIONAL drivers from windows update for non Microsoft hardware is
not recommanded.

If your hardware works fine: just leave it be working fine.

If an update is needed because the harware does not funtion well ( if it
ain't broke do not try to "FIX" it) than go to the manufactures website for
an
updated driver.

Best regards,
Michel Denie

Hi there,

It sounds like a driver update has occured which messed up the Sound
settings.

Hopefully you did not take any non MS driver(s) from windows update?

Never take drivers from windows update unless they are intended forMicrosoft
hardware.

If an updated driver is needed because the hardware does not work proper
goto the manufacturers website to look for an updated driver.

If it ain't broke: do not try to"FIX" it.

If you did take the optional drivers from windows update try booting
lastknown good configuration, rolling back on the driver or use system
restore
in safe mode prior to a date of the problem or restore from the full
systembackup you hopefully made.

Assuming you are using Windows XP: here you can see how to roll back on a
device driver:

You can disable the update in question appearing when automatic updates
isset by going to the windows update website and unmark (hide) driver in
question.

Best regards,
Michel Denie
