Scanner.!!!!!!!

[Guest]

I have a EPSON STYLUS SCAN 2500....Now that I have installed WinXP, my
Scanner won't work...It was fine with Win98 & ME
When I try using the Scanner I get an Error...."Cannot access the scanner
because another application is using it" I don't want to use Windows
Wizard to scan as I prefere to use my scanner as is with all its functions
such as: Scan to App, Scan to email, Scan to OCR...
Any help would be appreciated....

Install the Windows XP drivers available from the website of the equipment
manufacturer. Oh! They don't have any! Time for a new scanner.

very few win98 compatible scanners will work succesfully with winxp you can
try win2k drivers I have had limited success using these if not buy a new
scanner

Try updating to the win2k drivers, as previously stated.
If that doesnt work uninstall it and re-install using the win2k drivers.

If all else fails, a new scanner sounds like the best way.
I think its crazy discontinuing drivers for the latest OSs. Makes my blood
boil.

Nevermind, onwards and upwards.
