Lexmark 3150

Having a problem with initial setup on a Lexmark 3150 All-In-One (printer,
scanner, copier). The software installs OK but then I get a message saying
"Preparing Lexmark All-In-One for first use - searching for scanning
applications", which just sits there. As I have a lot of files on my
machine, I tried leaving it alone (overnight!) but nothing had changed.
According to the Task Manager this process is using 99% of CPU resources.
I have tried removing an reinstalling the software several times, including
in Safe Mode. I have tried killing every other app and process that is
running, I have downloaded an updated driver from Lexmark's site - all to no
avail.
My computer has an AMD Duron 1.3GHz CPU, 512 MB RAM and is running XP Home.
I have two other printers installed, a Lexmark Z25 and an Epson Colour 740.
Does anyone have any ideas about this problem?
TIA

If you call Lexmarks Technical support they will be able to resolve
this for you by send you a link to enable the app to work.
