Is there a definitive way to get scanner wizard up and running again?
I have a Packard Bell Diamond Scanner which isn't being recognised and no
scanner wizard. Are there are any plans for a rescue "patch" for thicko's
like me, or is there a solution to my problem?

Hi,
I have the same scanner and had the same problem.
PB does not make the scanner.
So they do not care.
But this works.(if you need I can send the correct driver by email)

1) Install the Scanner driver as normal from PB or disc (v1.1)
2) Download the Mustek Driver from
http://www.mustek.com/download/driv_scanr/english/b1200cuplus.html
3) Double click to extract it to a folder (Select a folder that you can
remmember)
4) Go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Imaging
Devices and manually update the driver by double clicking on your scanner
name - selecting the driver tab at the top of the scanner properties - Click
on Update Driver - and select “No, not this time†then next,and select
“Install or from a list or specified location†Now Browse to the folder where
you have extracted the Updated Driver and the Scanner now scans in Windows XP
SP2

Good luck.

3rd Try, I have a Agfa ScanWise for USB scanner v. 1.05. Every since I
installed windows EX Pro, I can't get it to scanner at all. When I try to
scan the image is like a rainbow. I contact the manufacture and they no
longer make my scanner. The light comes on. When I reinstall the original
software is indicates that it is not compatible.

Says something like 16 bit dos not compatible.

Any help would be most welcome.

Thanks.
