TRhat message means MS has not run its tests to insure compatibility. If HP is making it available for that scanner for an XP OS, it is very likely that it will work.  Next time you get that compatibility message just hit continue.

Usually HP doesn't provide additional or 3rd party software in its driver downloads, so what software other than the driver are you trying to download and install when you get that second error message that you mention. Check out http://miataru.computing.net/windowsxp/wwwboard/forum/24065.html for comments about the second error message related to C:\sj655.
