epson scanner driver won't install

[Guest]

Epson Scan won't install from CD or from Epson website for my Perfection 2480
scanner onto computer with XP Home. I get mesage "could not copy files. Check
setup disk then run setup again." I click OK, and another message "an error
occurred during startup. Restart your computer and run setup again".
Installs ok on another computer with Win98SE.

Boot with your scanner connected. Now XP's plug&play feature should come
up with a balloon that new hardware was found and will either install or ask
you to insert the installation disk. That's all. :~)

Did you go into Control Panel > Scanners and delete all that out? Sometime
they will not reinstall if there are bits and pieces laying around.
I know the printer won't. I found that out the hard way. Paying Epson
Support to tell me to delete the printer program out.
