Common problems HP Solution Center not working : Adobe Flash Player Error and Unable to scan

I've been scanning a lot of documents on my nearly-new HP 6978 OJ.  Every scan I send to the lawyers is crooked, and that's embarrassing.  Scanning dozens and dozens of documents using the glass isn't an option just to get straight scans. 

 

I bought this unit just to help me with all the scanning I need to do, both for legal stuff having to do with my Mom (with short deadlines), and for my hobby of posting some of my 100-year-old documents and catalogs online for free download.

 

Having a document feeder that scans crooked every time is making more work for me, when it's supposed to save me work.

 

Please see the samples.  Thanks in advance for your help.
