Upgrading your OS is pushed but this can knock out older applications which is something they don't advertise and can lead to great expense. I'm now trying to revert back to my previous OS so that I can run the DPS I had going without acquiring updated software as well. Compatibility problems abound when you change your OS. HP might have a fix? Check out their site but no guarantees.
