388251 2005-09-14 00:28:00 I recently upgraded from Win XP Home to XP Pro. (Compaq Presario ) and since then cant get it to find either the Zip 100 External Drive ( Parallel Con) or the Mustek Scanner 600 III E Plus which were in situ and working with the same computer when it was running XP Home. What have i not done/overlooked? :confused: :confused: granpa (2631)
388252 2005-09-14 02:13:00 Reconnect them. Reinstall the drivers - making sure they are XP drivers. pctek (84)
388253 2005-09-15 10:21:00 Thanks PCTEK I will try that again but I am still a little puzzled as to why they functioned Ok on XP Home.I appreciate your reply. granpa (2631)
388254 2005-09-15 11:00:00 did you format then install the Xp pro? if so you might have forgotten the motherboard drivers. it can make a big difference in some cases. tweak'e (69)
388255 2005-09-16 00:15:00 Thanks guys. I have managed to get the Zip drive back now but still no sign of the Mustek Scanner. I will persevere with getting updated drivers.Yes we reformatted the drive I think we replaced the m/b drivers. Thanks again. granpa (2631)
388256 2005-10-02 03:29:00 Just to close off on this one- I finally got the Mustek scanner to work after I downloaded one driver which actually worked. I had previously download several drivers which allegedly were for the Mustek on XP and none of them worked. That's what puzzled me so. Thanks guys for your assistance. granpa (2631)
