when all else fails read the manual.
HP photo scanner 1000 installs itself automatically as a removable drive and saves your scan in that drive. there is a wonderful little program that can save to folders of your choice. you can read and download it from: http://www.mediachance.com/free/hp1000.htm
i have not tried it on Windows 7, but now that i know where to search for the scanned copy, i shall try again.
I hope i have solved your dilemna, and you will be able to use this wonderful piece of quirky equipment, and will alter your remark, "Then again better everyone here than some guy in Bangladesh where English isn't his first or second language!!!".
i will leave you to guess where i am from.

ibuddy, thank you! cheers to Bangladesh! I loved this mini photo scanner years ago so much that I wore the first one out and purchased a second for travel stuff. I was miffed when I found I could not use it on Windows 7, and found only garbly goop on other sites...
Your sotultion works! thank you, I can now take this to remote sites when I am scanning for my Newspaper business and pack it for travel!
kudos to you!

Hi, I am not a computer guru, but it just so happens that I picked up an HP photo scanner 1000 today at one of those cheapy stores for $5.00. I am also running Win 7 and when I connected the scanner via USB, Windows automatically installed the software, so you should not be needing any discs or other installation software. I even scanned a picture and it worked perfectly. You can locate the scanned item by going to My Computer and you will see it as one of the drives (in my computer it is labelled as Photoscan 3 (G) but the letter may differ on yours. If Windows does not automatically install the software for the scanner, the only other thing I can suggest is to install SP1 on your PC if you haven't already done so. You can either download it or obtain the CD from Microsoft. In case you didn't know, SP1 is a vast library of drivers and other software which may be required in some instances. Good luck!

Hi:
I'm new to this board, but it just happens that I plugged my HP Photo Scanner 1000 into my two-month old Dell computer with Windows 7 Professional on it today. I've had this scanner for a number of years and used it with several types of Windows. It has always installed itself and worked just fine. I scanned a picture today, and it went to the folder like it was supposed to. So....I suppose I don't understand what all the fuss about a driver for Windows 7 is. Now.......if you could just tell me why my HP ScanJet G4010 won't install, even with a disk of installation software, etc., I'd be a happy man.
