192076 2003-11-14 22:16:00 My computer, running Windows 98 SE had a recent crash as my power supply went wrong. I had to completely reinstall the operating system. Since then, everything has been fine except that the computer will not recognise my scanner. I have reinstalled the drivers and reconnected the scanner, but on bootup it just says "scanner not found.". I downloaded new drivers from the net, but same result. I then uninstalled the scanner and reinstalled everything, with the same result. I hope someone has some ideas as it is probably cheaper to buy a new scanner, than to get someone in to fix the problem. Regards to all, Bumfluff. Bumfluff (3523)

192080 2003-11-14 23:18:00 Yes. I agree with the rules. Just a reminder. I know the post was fine and all that but just wanteds to point it out. Don't mean to be officious or anything but.
Cheers. :D

192082 2003-11-14 23:24:00 i think mark was referring to the name of "bumfluff" and was just posting the rules as a hint that hes offended by it or something?? csinclair83 (200)
192083 2003-11-14 23:44:00 Ok OK OK OK I can't say I was sitting here drenched in a cold sweat of horror and offense but I do like the forum to be like the rules say....friendly, no swearing, offensive handles that sort of thing. OK? :)
No big deal. Hope the poster gets the problem fixed rather than dragged into this must be wondering what's going on.

192084 2003-11-15 01:05:00 first u should uninstall all u have installed related to this scanner
then plug scanner in...it would detect new hardware, and if cd is in then it should install it....or needs your help to find the cd...and it should work
dont install before connecting scanner...

and if that doesnt work, post back on here and we can try help :-)

192085 2003-11-15 01:21:00 Advice from csinclair83 won't work if your scanner is Mustek brand. You have to install all software BEFORE you connect the scanner or things just won't work.
