Had the same problem myself mate with this type of scanner but mine is a serial version where yours is a usb. What I did was download the win2000 drivers off the primax site and installed using them.

It worked for me, just shout if you are stuck, and I mean shout cos davidh is clocking up the years now. LOL

I had similar problems with my USB scanner. The way round it was by using a reg hack. I have it somewhere but if I cant find it by tomorrow I will PM Digimon as he supplied me with this useful hack and ask him to re post.

Thanks for oicking up on that one Digi. Saved me a postage stamp.

Jock, let us know the outcome, but please be careful with the reg editing if you are not too sure what to do.
