Epson 1260 / XP Compatibility

[Trish]

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.  Everything worked and he scanned ok until he rebooted - then 
the programs in Start Up didn't start up. He rolled back the driver and
everything was ok.  Then he started to install the second driver but 
stopped when he got the same diagnostic.  Has anyone had this problem 
with the 1260?  How do you get around 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

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