1130105 2010-08-21 03:11:00 Some of you will remember that I upgraded my 'puter last weekend to a new machine with OS of Windows 7 64 bit Professional. All WAS going well, but today my scanner spopped going.

I have uninstalled it, reinstalled it. Looked for appropriate upgraded software on the net and installed - all to no avail! It DOES make hopeful noises from time to time, but the gold standard scan is not happening. :(

Suggestions or ideas for 'a fix' would be appreciated! :)

1130106 2010-08-21 03:27:00 Did you unplug the scanner. BEFORE you reinstalled the drivers?? If you install the drivers while its plugged in and on, it wont work properly Speedy Gonzales (78)
1130107 2010-08-21 03:33:00 Mmm - think I did. Will try again.... R.M. (561)
1130108 2010-08-21 03:35:00 It'll tell you when to plug it in and turn it on during the install. If you didnt see this before, you probably installed the drivers while it was plugged in and turned on Speedy Gonzales (78)

You're right! I'm back in business again (at least with that). Ta.

Most things are functional - just still the odd quirk to work on... :)

1130110 2010-08-21 03:42:00 Sweet ! With most (USB) printers and scanners. You have to remember NOT to plug it in until the install says to plug it in, and turn it on. Then the install will continue installing the drivers Speedy Gonzales (78)
1130111 2010-08-21 03:59:00 Agreed. Do not be in too much of a hurry to plug the device in when it comes to USB. Snorkbox (15764)
