Windows XP and Camera Compatability

[STEVE IN MASS]

My Mom just got a new computer.....she has Windows XP.....

She is pi$$ed cause the digital camera she bought a year ago is evidently not compatable with XP.....she also just yesterday bought a scanner....not even out of the box yet, and she doesn't think it is compatable, either....evidently on both, it's a driver problem....

E-mail she sent me with the camera specs:

"The camera is a HP photosmart 215, model #C8890A. The software with it is from ArcSoft, it is arcsoft photoimpression version hpps2, photomontage version hpps2 and HP 215 Camera Drivers. It's the camera drivers that are the problem. The software downloads fine but the computer can't use the drivers."

So, any ideas, commments, etc.?

Thanks.
