Win 95/98 programs may not run on Vista.

However, it is possible they might run if you try running the program in "Compatibility" mode.

You can also search on "Vista compatibility mode" for other sites.

VISTA blues. we get it. for sure wrong install media (yes)
I tried( in what way tell the helper how you tired)
using what methods,.

• CD in box with relic printer.
• from HP, no its not supported now.
• from hackers sites, (endless vast pool of viruses)
• found in the torrents, see above line
• or?

the correct way is at HP , real HP. dig?
i can tell its the wrong software you are running (installers)
due to the crazy errors.

the 845c is not supported now at HP, so that means you went fishing for installers on the virus pond , the web, all useless but the scalpers dont care.
this is common, due to HP dropping support.
To bad the dont keep one tiny page up,show'g what support WAS?

proof of zero support here

Carbon 14 dating 101:
first lets see what year this thing was made, 845c
ok first hit in the pond is year 2001, so let met get this straight
you found a 17 year old printer at a garage sale. then
tired to get 2001 software running (old media) on 2009 VISTA.
the users guide, seen in the pond clearly shows
page 13 quote your manual.
Make sure Windows 98, Me, or 2000 is
running.
vista was released
22 October 2009.


now we go to MS
MS stores driver, for its current OS w7 and 10
but VISTA is being shut down as I speak (XP is dead)
but he update center is here
try the w7 driver (i said try it may error out say vista not supported)
and guess what, IT IS NOT.

you need to run your vista cd back on the laptop & reinstall vista, Vista will make the changes for you. you cant removed 98 and have vista back and running as it was before as windows 98 would have changed the hard drive format from ntsf to fat32

try to boot ur laptop with disc manager cd or win XP.
if doesnt works then try win 98 cd and delete ur C:/ partiton and install new vista

Your P2015D model has been around for awhile. Windows Vista is relatively new, therefore the installation CD may not have a driver for Vista. Try downloading a Vista driver from HP.com (free of charge). PCL6 is probably your best choice. Try the following link.

You need to download the software for Vista , you can go to this link and download it http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&dlc=&cc=us&lang=&product=441125&#

you are trying to install a Win xp drivers on a Win Vista system-they are incompatible. go here for new drivers: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15179&prodSeriesId=447373&prodNameId=447374&swEnvOID=2093&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=sj-50009-1

Although Vista comes with an Easy File Transfer Wizard it is not compatible with Windows 98.

You will need a CD burning program such as Nero Burning Suite or Creative CD Writer or here is a link to a FREE one.

Your computer came with a restore cd I am sure, so you can get vista back later if you need.

Here is a tutorial made just for you. You will need to own an XP CD. pre-installed-windows-vista-computer/">http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/install-windows-xp-on-your-pre-installed-windows-vista-computer/

You can buy laptop coolers almost anywhere for $20 to $30. They will get hot. I try to keep my laptop on a flat open surface to allow maximum air flow. Setting it on you lap insulates it and it gets warm. Nothing out of the ordinary.

You may be able to download an updated driver from HP that will fix your web cam problem. There may also be another program running that is trying to manage the web cam also. Take a look at your running programs and close any that are related to the web cam and see if you error still occurs.
