Hi, not sure if this is the right group, but here goes anyway.
I have a couple of machines running xp Pro SP2, They are not super fast
machines, but they are fine in most respects.
I have an old Primax Scanner which, with Win 2000 drivers works well on one
of them, and although the scanner only is visible in the hardware manager
and add remove, it works fine.
However, the other machine seems not to want to see this scanner, well, it
ill see it as new hardware and install the drivers as per the other machine,
but they never show up in the drivers tab in hardware properties, and
although the scanner works, a restart loses it and the found new hardware
wizard keeps popping up .
So, has something in the registry screwed up, or what. Its a pretty standard
flatbed scanner with a USB connection, and although dire warning are given
when installing the 2000 drivers on both machines, the fact that it is fine
on one would seem to me to suggest they work or should work!
Anything I can do to perhaps make the system update the drivers part of the
registry so it will work?
