Mustek 600 III EP Plus and Win 2K

[kingtbone]

Ok, here's the problem. After upgrading to Windows 2000, my scanner no longer works. I've tried using the drivers from Mustek with no luck yet. I'm running a Pentium 233 MMX with 64 MB Ram. It's supposed to be a plug & play device. I can't get Windows to recognize it though. It's plugged into my printer port (ECP), and my printer is plugged into the scanner. I can print with no difficulties, so that eliminates an interface problem. I've tried all the solutions I can think of, but I'm not getting anywhere. I've enabled legacy plug and play devices through the ECP printing port. The port is set to EPP+ECP in my BIOS. If you can think of anything else, let me know. Thanks.

I just took a quick look at Mustek's web site and found the following:

Windows 2000 Driver Installation Note

NOTE: Installation of this driver requires that you log in as Administrator. Please restart your computer and log in as Administrator, using a capital 'A', prior to installing this driver.

.

Could this perhaps solve your problem?

Thanks for the suggestion, but as this is my home machine, I'm always the admin <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0"> Anyways, I fixed it by re-installing the software that came with it. I didn't think that re-installing the PhotoShop type programs would help when device manager couldn't see the scanner itself, but oh well. I suppose you can delete this thread now if you like. Thanks

You're welcome. I think it's best to just close the topic and leave it so your solution can be here to help someone else with the same scanner.
