HP scanner install....

Installed an HP 5590 to my old HP Pavilion running W98. No problems, all is well.
Installed the same to wife's Dell Dimension 4600, took about 2 hrs to read the disc. Scanned a test document, all went well. Next day, upon restart, the XP machine pops up a window saying it's loading the scanner software. tried canceling, won't close out the window. Have to use Task Manager to delete that window. Nest I tried install/uninstall but am told it can't because another program is being added. There are none, (to my limited knowledge). How can I find what's being 'added'? How can I delete all the files for this scanner?
So far: i searched all files for anything conatining HP 5590 info. Went through and manually deleted them. Followed some HP directions for cleaning the regedit files. THe monster info is STILL there!
I did store points before and after the mass deletion.
Any suggestions? Out the window? Hand grenades? Howitzers?
