192086 2003-11-15 02:09:00 I wonder if there are some other drivers needed --- for the motherboard devices? Especially the USB ports. :D Graham L (2)
192087 2003-11-16 03:35:00 We run ancient Microtek scanner with 98SE, SCCI interface. Our routine is switch on scanner let it sort its tiny mind out- wipe its nose etc. Then press windows key & pause/break keys, both together. Systems properties pops up, select Device manager tab, select SCCI and press refresh button. Then and only then open application. Long winded but too damn mean to spring for new scanner weka (4874)
192088 2003-11-16 07:36:00 I agree Weka, I've got a Scanmaker V310 and had a hell of a time getting it set up(connected up through the printer). It works really well now, but I dread the day that I may have to reinstall it. Rod ger (316)
192089 2003-11-16 08:06:00 I would start with making sure the motherboard drivers have been installed. USB ports may not becognised unless this is done. There again the scanner may be connected to a parallel port and have the printer connected to the scanner. Possibly it may be connected to its own SCSI card for all I know.

What make and model scanner are we talking about?

Check control panel, device manager and see if you have any yellow question marks. A little more info will help us to help you. :-)
