text: how do i remove the hp precision scan software from my machine? os is winxp profesional.   i've checked control panel's add/remove program and this program is no longer there. so i don't know where to find it so i can either uninstall it or remove it.  thanks. look on your toolbar press start to programs to hp precision scan and see if there is an install option is the sub-menu. also try going to the program folder to see if there is uninstall in there.  if not on add/remove list and no uninstall in either places above you can remove it with uninstall software. do not use delete, it will cause alot of problems if you do.
