G4 KILLED BY HP PRECISIONSCAN PRO! HELP!

I upgraded to HP PrecisionScan Pro 3.1 via download.  Now when I start my G4, the computer locks up when it gets to the desktop.  When I disabled the HP extensions:  TWAIN 1.7 and HP ScanJet Manager, then my machine works fine.  Those two lock up my machine.

If I use the installer and re-install the HP software and do not restart the computer, then I can scan.  But a restart kills my machine.

Any suggestions as to how to do this so things work how they are supposed to?

I have a G4, 576 mb, OS 9.2.2, and a USB HP ScanJet 5300.

In lou of actually solving the conflicts problem, i.e. perhaps HP's MAC software just sucks (just like mircrotek) there is a very nice scanning utility called VUESCAN that is free and can handle many types of scanners. Their website says they support the 5300c. Check it out at http://www.hamrick.com/
