I've been Money Tipped!
Wondered if anyone can advise? I have a scanner (mustek 1200 ub) but installation cd doesn't work with XP. I have gone to the following site http://www.mustek.com/mustek/supportdrivers.php?&show=drivers&disp_cat=Scanner&disp_sr=USB%20Port&disp_mod=1200%20UB&disp_catid=18&disp_srid=31&disp_modid=114

I followed the instructions for the driver installation. This was installed ok but I can't use the scanner still?

Thanks in advance
Tom.

    Maybe a silly question but did you uninstall the software first before installing the driver or wouldnt it even let you install any software first?

    I have the same scanner which I haven't used for a while, but I use it through the xp scanner, camera wizard which is located in the control box.

    I formatted the hard drive containing windows 2000, installed xp. But the setup cd wont work with xp. I have no software for the scanner on the pc whatsoever.

    I'm not sure what to do, can someone advise me?
