726086 2008-12-06 02:09:00 Hi All.

Maryann has her computer back but there is one small problem. It keeps asking for the above file.
I have d/l it from Driver Guide & it appears to have installed.
Why then does the computer keep asking for it? Thanks. PJ

726087 2008-12-06 02:17:00 What folder did you save it to??

C:\Windows, or C:\windows\I386 if this is XP??

The next time it asked, did you point it to this file in one of these folders?

According to one site, thats where this file goes. Its not on my system tho

What service pack, is on it if its XP?

C:\Windows
No.
Computer has SP3 on it, but Error prompt asks for SP2.
Problem is with the Epson scanner.

726089 2008-12-06 02:46:00 Point it to that folder / file next time. See what happens. Or uninstall the printer drivers.

Then reinstall them

Make sure if the printer is USB install the drivers first. Pull the USB cable out till the install finishes / tells you to plug it in / turn it on

726090 2008-12-06 02:56:00 I would uninstall the scanner from Device Manager, reboot (or right click on the computer name in Device Manager and click on "Scan for hardware changes"), then plug the scanner in and reinstall with the driver disc

You might have to uninstall all USB serial bus controllers, then reboot (or maybe just right click on the computer name in Device Manager and click on "Scan for hardware changes").
Try just uninstalling the scanner first though

Heres some info about it too.. (www.file.net)

726091 2008-12-06 03:11:00 Speedy...I uninstalled all of the CX3900. Then re-installed it, putting the plug back in when requested. Still no go. What now? PJ Poppa John (284)
726092 2008-12-06 04:17:00 Try going here and have a read (www.killertechtips.com) there is a link to the usbscan.sys file in the article, or Direct link to download (www.usbman.com) (right click save as) - According to one article it is meant to be in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers Folder

Just done a search on this XP machine and its in the C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\sp2.cab Try looking / Aiming or dumping it there

726093 2008-12-06 04:34:00 Correct me if Im wrong... anything in a cab file is just like a zip file, not actually used, but packed into the cab for later extraction.. no?

(I am using experience with 98 and its cab file system.. maybe its changed since then)

726094 2008-12-06 06:50:00 OK the latest. I have looked in folder I386 & usbscan is not there..
So I am going to have to d/l it from somewhere.
But..when I do Start...Search...usbscan.sys, it comes on screen as a folder.

So what do I do with it? PJ

726095 2008-12-06 06:53:00 You have to show system files. Since its a system file

Or find the file again and right mouse / open containing folder
