I have a notebook with Windows Vista 64. I'm trying to add a shared HP deskJet 5150 that is connected to my desktop computer running XP on a local network. downloaded theVista 64 driver file from HP, installed it but I can't get the system to install the drivers. Windows keeps asking me for the location of the "inf" file and I don't know where thy are.

Where did you downloaded the drivers to? you should look for the drivers there, right click on the setup.exe file and "Run as Administrator"

Hope that helps a bit
