how can install an usb scanner on winXP?

Hi there,\n\nI think Windows XP mostly recognizes a device if it is connected. Which service pack are you using?\n\nThere can be 2 reasons for your problem - Either hardware problem or Software (drivers) problem. Let us analyze them.\n\nDid you get any drivers CD along with your device? If so, then after you connect your device, put the CD and install the drivers for your product.\n\nIf you didn't get any drivers CD, then connect the device, and restart your system once. As soon as the desktop screen opens, wait for the system to identify your device. If it doesn't, try the following-\n\nRight click on my computer, choose 'manage' from the drop-down list, then go to 'Device manager', then go to 'Universal Serial Bus conductors.' It shows you all the USB devices connected to your systen. So do that and uninstall the USB which you connected your scanner. Then restart your system. Now, when the desktop screen appears, if it says it recognised a USB drive, then you can be sure you have no problem with your USB, but a problem with your drivers.(I'll tell you how to download drivers later). So yeah, If it doesn't recognize the USB, then you can be sure there is no problem with your device, and you have to change the USB hardware.(It is generally very cheap)\n\nSo now, If you figure out you have problem with drivers, then go to \n\nhttp://www.scanner-drivers.com/\n\nor  http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&q=scanner+drivers\n\nAnd install the drivers and try reconnecting your device. Even then If it doesn't get identified, get your product verified by a qualified technician. (I am assuming your operating system is perfect).\n\nSo hope this helps. If not, please feel free to inform me. I'd be glad to assist you further. Bye!!\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

Try:\n\nControl Panel-->Computer Management-->\nSound, video and game controllers.\n\nYour WinXP machine may show the following Codecs driver:\n- Audio Codecs.\n- Video Codecs.\n\nIf you do not see it.. you may need to install software/devices such as DVD software etc..

The first place to look is at the website of the scanner's manufacturer. If you can't find the site, check the documents that came with your scanner for a tech help hotline. If those options fail, for whatever reason, you may wish to check the extensive library of software drivers that are available at www.software.drivers.com - click the link below, and you'll be taken directly there.\n\nGood luck!

Buying a all-in-1 machine is the best route.  You'll have warranty protection, updated features and drivers, and save some desktop space.\n\nFurthermore, the older scanners will no longer have drivers for Win XP and beyond, and no technical support whatsoever.

Just purchase one USB to LPT convertor cable which is available in the market. That cable has one end USB pin and the other end it has LPT connector. After that connect your scanner using parallel port cable 25-pin female (which are also used for printer sharing switches) . Good luck

what you might want to try doing is completely unisnstall the program and then with the software disk, load it according to owner's manual or on screen prompts.  i had to do that with mine beccause scanner wasn't working. it worked well.

It should be USB so if you are using Windows XP it will automatically install the correct drivers. If you have any other O/S you will need to use the driver CD that came with the drive.

1) Make sure your Windows CD is in the drive.\n\n2) From a DOS prompt, type the following line...\n\nsfc /scannow\n\nFor more info and options on the sfc command, you may type...\n\nsfc /?\n\nNOTE: sfc is not necessarily available with all versions of Windows, and I don't have Win98SE here for testing. However this command is always my first troublshooting recourse before running Setup and doing a re-install.
