34927 2002-02-08 12:01:00 try enabling USB in the bios it may be disabled.
if it is enabled verify if you have the correct USB device drivers if you are running win95.
what OS are you using?
also verify if the scanner actually picks up in device manager (right click my computer and select properties) and see if there is any exclamation marks or a red X click on it if any to see the error message

you may be out of luck. Many USB devices like scanners and printers require win98se or better. And if thats the case I dont know of a work around.
