| 192090 | 2003-11-15 00:15:00 | 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. It would seem that this may have ended up in the wrong place, I have no idea why, I just posted a message as usual, I have no intention to contribute towards any debate on rules, I have very little interest in them, commonsense should presumably prevail.

| 192091 | 2003-11-15 00:23:00 | is the scanner USB or LPT connection? | robsonde (120) | ||
| 192092 | 2003-11-15 00:31:00 | You dont give any details of your scanner bumfly. :) First have a look in c:\windows\twain and c:\windows\twain32, if there is nothing there then the twain drivers have not been loaded. Check that you do have power to the scanner. If it is a parallel port scanner, and is connected in with a printer, try removing the printer and just connect the scanner to the parallel port. It is not uncommon for scanners to get themselves lost. Did you try the Add New Hardware , "No I want to select the hardware from a list" Then choose Imaging Device, then Have Disk. ? Try typing this in Google: "scanner not detected" +windows 98 for numerous similar problems and solutions. |
