Hi Anne: When you uninstalled your Kurzweil 1000, did you by chance uninstall the software that came with your scanner, assuming that you had to install drivers to get the scanner to work? Did you have the scanner on when you re-installed Kurzweil so it could find your scanner? I would suggest you uninstall and re-install Kurzweil, and make sure that you have your scanner on. You can also go to start menu->control panel->add/remove programs and in the list of programs, see if you have any HP scanner software still there. Hope this helps. If you need further asistance, feel free to call me at the Adaptive Tech Help Desk.
