Windows 7 Supported replacement for Photosmart 8750

Question

Hi;
It seems that the ToolBox is not available for the HP Photosmart 8750 under Windows 7 64bit.
Is there an equivalent that anyone would recommend which is supported?
Thanks
Bob

Thanks Ed.
I think you or your organization is confusing which is the 'client' and which is the 'server' in an x-windows configuration. They very well may be--including me. Recently, tech support came by and removed "X Server" software from two of my colleagues' laptops. They said a security scan had identified an "X Server" on their XP laptops and, as such, had to be uninstalled. Could Hummingbird Exceed also be considered an "X Server" and thus not legitimately be allowed to exist on our laptops? I always thought an "X Server" would run on a Linux server, where the Oracle instances reside. And you would initiate a session from a Windows PC or laptop using an X Client (similar to how you would use a SQL*PLUS client to interact with a remote database server).
Personally I use Xming on my desktop to handle 'x' output from my servers. It's free and lightweight. Thanks for the Xming reference. I'd seen that in my googling but didn't know if that would be allowed in our environment. The one complaint I've heard about Cygwin so far is that it's a pain to get up and running. But that it's fantastic once functioning. Always wanted to have *nix-like powers on my PC, e.g. grep, piping input/output from commands around, etc. And maybe even use VI... I know some hate it, but with the right keystrokes you can write a lot faster with VI than with a GUI-based editor.
