Unknown Device.

[David Barratt]

Hi all,

I've recently installed Vista Ultimate. Looking in the 'Device Manager' I
found an unknown device. Upon further inspection I discovered that it is for
my Mustek 1200 UB Plus scanner.

Under 'Hardware Ids the message is: 'USB\VID_05D8&PID_4002&REV_0100 and
USB\VID_05D8&PID_4002.

As I understand it there is no driver for this scanner yet. Can anyone
confirm this? Is there a driver? Is there a driver being developed? Where
can I get it?

Should I just go out and purchase a new scanner that's Vista compatible?

I posted this on the 'General' group as well. Sorry. I wasn't sure where to
post it

Looking forward to your help,

Happy Holidays,

Dave.

If the Mustek Website doesn't have it, it probably doesn't exist. Scanners
are pretty cheap these days. I'd get a new one if Mustek says they won't
support Vista. Have you tried the XP driver? I use the XP driver for my
Dell All-In-One Photo 964 printer and it works OK for now until a native Vista
driver comes out. Then I'll switch to that and eliminate the few problems I have.

Thanks Tom,

I have tried my XP driver without success. I'll probably get a new scanner.
I've found Vista to be easy to use & nifty looking. I don't want to go back
to XP for the sake of a scanner!!
