Epson 1260 / XP Compatibility

My brother is trying to install an Epson 1260 scanner in XP.
Installation of the first driver available from the Epson site gave him
the "has not passed windows logo testing" diagnostic but he proceeded
anyway.Â*Â*EverythingÂ*workedÂ*andÂ*heÂ*scannedÂ*okÂ*untilÂ*heÂ*rebootedÂ*-Â*thenÂ*
the programs in Start Up didn't start up. He rolled back the driver and
everything was ok.Â*Â*ThenÂ*heÂ*startedÂ*toÂ*installÂ*theÂ*secondÂ*driverÂ*butÂ*
stopped when he got the same diagnostic.Â*Â*HasÂ*anyoneÂ*hadÂ*thisÂ*problemÂ*
with the 1260?Â*Â*HowÂ*doÂ*youÂ*getÂ*aroundÂ*it?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Ignore that Microsoft nonsense. They co-brand for a fee. Just choose to
not run the test.

Thanks for your input Seancito. My concern though is that he really did
have a problem after he installed one of Epson's drivers. So I'm still
wondering if someone has had a good experience with any 1260 drivers so I
can recommend it to him.

Thanks again,

Trish

My neighbor uses the same scanner with the second driver on the download
page. His OS is Windows XP SP2. It works fine.

That's all I needed to hear. Thanks a million, Seancito.
