Guest JT Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Did a re-install of XP. Now our scanner won't work. We never installed software that came with the scanner and it worked fine with other software. Any suggestions? The manufacturer (Umax Astra 2000U) doesn't have any up to date drivers unless you purchase and then they don't guarantee that they will work!! thanks JT

Suggest you 'Google' and you will find there are many sites from which ypou can download the drivers required.
Guest George Hester Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Re: scanner drivers That is right. The drivers for that are obsolete. You had it working in XP before? You say you had other software to make it work? You don't recall what that other software was? -- George Hester ________________________________ "JT" <grouch_45@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:Aj8Ai.93590$fJ5.69973@pd7urf1no... > Did a re-install of XP.

Guest JT Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Re: scanner drivers No the software doesn't install the Twain drivers (I think) the scanner just worked with other software - was recognized by XP.

Guest JT Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Re: scanner drivers Did the "Google" thing without success - even joined the "Drivers" site which supposedly had working drivers for XP - nothing works. The fact that the scanner was recognized before in XP and isn't now has me stumped. "Edward W.
