Epson photo scan fails

[Sue]

I have an epson stylus photo RX 700
The printer side of it installed whithout any problems but the scanner
was a complete pain.
I seem to have had many problems installing scanners and this has been
yet another one.
Eventually I did install it and everything seemed to be working fine
but have just tried again and I now get the error message,all over
again.
"Epson scan cannot be started."
Any help would be much appreciated.
I have XP and SP2 and for a long time now have big problems installing
any new peripherals ...eventually I seem to get there, but this time
after seeming to install it and working fine it has failed
again.

Do you have other scanners attached to the PC right now?

No I don't have any other scanners attached.

It could be a Twain driver issue. Look on Epson's web site for a set of
drivers for your model.

Thank you JS, I will try that.

Thank you all for your help. Very much appreciated.
I have just tried switching on the photo/scanner BEFORE I switch o
the pc and it works

Strange, my Epson doesn't need to be on before turning on the PC.
Glad you solved the problem.

Thank you JS, and I hope I don't get any more glitches with this as I
seem to have problems getting new peripherals to install in the first
place.
I can spend hours on working around it and did think at first it was
windows installer files that were either corrupted or gone!
Much appreciate your time.
Thank you again
