Thanks for all the info, I finally found out how to do it, I had to upgrade to windows 7 pro, and this allows me to run in xp mode on my desktop, and thus problem solved another 80 dollar later, but it will run all windows 7 and i can access and print in xp for you have to set up a guest account on your computer to access your windows 7 pictures and files, it took awhile, and I had to get on line and read others who have done it. It's working for me now. Thanks Again!
