First of all, it's not clear to me whether it is a Microsoft problem

of the devices and their drivers with the specific Windows version you
have. Of course it could be that other tools don't need to ask those
same questions, for some reason, so that they end up working fine ..
Good thinking.
Running W7 64 professional.
It detects the HP drive and automatically installs some driver.
This driver shows the same behaviour as the HP driver.
And then there is the IBM driver. Not sure if W7 installs a default driver for that.
Same story.
What does that tell you?
