There could be a device driver conflict. Disconnect any other USB devices
that you are not currently using. Un plug and replug the scanner then try it
again.

The general order to install a USB scanner is to leave the scanner
unattached until after you install the software...reboot if necessary then
attach the USB cable and let Windows find the drivers you just installed.
BTW, did you plug the scanners' power supply into a wall outlet?

Plugging into an electrical source isn't always necessary. My scanner
gets its power from the USB port; hence I have it plugged into a
powered USB hub.
