SCSI causes "Found new hardware" repeatedly

P

Paula

I just had XP professional installed on my pc last week.
I have a UMAX SCSI scanner.

Upon booting my machine I am prompted that XP has found
new hardware and it refers to my scanner. I installed
the scanner. I am immediately prompted that XP has found
new hardware again. I installed it agian. After four
rounds like this I canceled the install and was prompted
again. This goes on for about three rounds and then it
gives up.

This happens on EVERY reboot.

Any ideas on how to stop it?

Thanks!!

Did you at any time let it complete the cycle 8 times?
It's a common fault I've had with my UMAX UC630 since Win95 and it is
trying to apply the SCSI ID LUN address and there are 8 of them.
Once completed it should stop. If it doesn't here's a few examples of
the contents of a registry file I have which supposed to fix that problem.
You just have to pick your particular model and apply the edit.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ScsiPort\SpecialTargetList]


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ScsiPort\SpecialTargetList\ScannerUMAX____Astra_1200S_____]
"SetLunInCdb"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ScsiPort\SpecialTargetList\ScannerUMAX____UMAX_S-12_______]
"SetLunInCdb"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ScsiPort\SpecialTargetList\ScannerUMAX____VISTA-S6E_______]
