    I know nothing about computers and I don't know where to look to find the operating system I am using. I don't have the software for the scanner, I got it for free from people moving out of town. I don't know if I have a scanning program.

    The OS is Windows XP

    It says it has service pack 3.

    you should always include the operating system you are using as it could be a driver issue. Please let me know the OS and if you have installed the software that came with your scanner and also which program you want to scan into.

When you boot up your computer the operating system is displayed as a huge colourful Icon. It may be Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or even Windows 98 or Windows Me. That is the OS or operating system you are running. we know you are using a Canon MP530 scanner so we just need to know what OS you are using so we can download the soltware you need to install it. hp Pavilion

    There are many versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system. You may be
    using Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows XP, or another version. To make sure you
    know which version is on your computer:



        Click Start, and then click Run.



        In the box, type winver, and then click OK.

    The window that appears will show you which version of Windows your computer
    is using. If your operating system has a service pack installed, you will see
    the service pack listed as shown in the following image:
