You should be able to use Windows Explorer. RIGHT click Start, click Explore or Windows Explorer depending on your Windows operating system. In the new window click the plus sign beside C: in the left side Click the plus sign beside Program files in the left side Click the plus sign beside the HP folder in the left side Now you should see all the sub folder inside the HP folder listed underneath and one of those will likely be holding your photos. Click on that folder to highlight it and all the contents now appear in the right side of your screen. Assuming you want them all click on the top photo, hold down the Shift key and tap the End key to highlight everything. RIGHT click anywhere on the highlighted data and click Copy. Now look near the top on the left side and you see your My Pictures folder, RIGHT click on it and click Paste in the pop up. Done. Note you could use cut and paste but as these are photos and if lost they are gone forever i like to copy and paste. Then I can return and delete them in the old folder if I wish. To me that is easier than digging stuff out of the recycle bin.

I would go to the site listed below, download the latest drivers. Remove the existing drivers, disconnect the printer from the computer and install the new drivers. Be sure to disconnect as HP have a specific time in the install process to connect, they will tell you on screen. Here is a link that might be useful: HP 2575 drivers for XP

The only negative to all-in-ones is if one of the functions you require fails the whole unit is not satisfactory. I recently went from a flatbed to an all-in one and have no regrets. Of course, mine was a package throw-in and free of charge so my feelings may be a little askew. Also, you might want to check and make sure any HP unit you are interested in comes with the Vista drivers. Mine was an HP Vista "ready", but I was suppose to download the Vista drivers; 177 MBs. On my antique DUN that would have required 9 hours, if the connection remained stable. The alternative was to purchase them from HP. I filed a complaint with the HP CEO and received the drivers for free. I did have to wait 10 days for them. DA

Below is the link to the HP site where the manuals are stored. I select your operating system as XP. If different start over. Not sure if it will have the two sided printing details. Here is a link to the HP site on 2 sided printing. Here is a link that might be useful: HP photosmart 5140 manual
