When I said "Click it from elsewhere" I meant from the main
folder and be sure it's not the icon .ico file, and from the
folder in the Start Menu. Again, some HP Service may have to
be running for it to open.
Since the blue header bar is part of the XML file, it won't
show if the file can't be parsed properly.
Windows Image Acquisition is on by default. It has to be
running for a scanner to work, but I have mine disabled all the
time until I scan something because it's senseless to have a
Service running all the time sucking up memory and resources
that's rarely ever needed.
Are you still having these problems or is it fixed now?

DG> Do you mean that HP did such an egregiously bad job on
programming this
driver that I have to turn on the service before I can use the
scanner?
Don't they care about their customers?
