8551 2001-02-10 07:54:00 I have a H.P.Scanjet 5p connected to an H.P. 8120 Pavilion running Win95 with 32 meg of ram.Up until now the scanner has been working o.k. but now when I try to scan the message ' scanner currently being accessed by another application. Please wait for other application to finish or close it to allow this application access.' This message also appears when I try to activate scanner test. In device manager scanner is shown as o.k.with no conflicts. However the scsi adapter states that there is a conflict or it is causing a problem. I have checked all the cables and connections and thy appear o.k. Can anyone advise how to locate this fault or conflict? Any assistance would be appreciated. Many thanks. Guest (0)

8553 2001-02-11 07:24:00 Thanks Malcolm for the advice. I removed The adapter from the device manager but when windows re-installed it the fault was still there. What I would like to know is how to locate what is causing the conflict. I hope you or someone can advise me on this. Many thanks. Guest (0)
