Vista - c3180 problem

Have a new HP computer with vista. Bought a c3180 printer/scanner/copier to
go with it. Software included is only good up to XP, as you probably know.
Downloaded large driver file from HP, which works, but it inisists on
reinstalling itself on every reboot and occasionally at other times. This is
a pain. Anybody else encounter this problem?

After downloading the software from the HP website, did you disconnect the
all in one before installing the software? If not, you need to completely
uninstall (and disconnect)... then reboot, install the software and don't
connect the unit until the software tells you to do so.
