Possible solution

Hi Linda,
I am experiencing absolutely the same difficulties with this scanner and drivers.

There are no XP drivers at the moment for the driver, the technical support my Mustek is deaf to customers' inquiries.

Next time do not touch anything from this company, anyways as we already were stupid enough to buy this thing I found in the net the following solution:

Download the regular drivers for your scanner but not for XP, - for windows 2000.

After that run regedit.exe and find in the registry LOcal settings - Microsoft- Windows NT- Current Version a line with version - there will be Microsoft Windows XP? - change it into Microsoft Windows 2000
you can also change build from 2600 to 2195? but normally the whole thing works out without build alteration.

So now we have 2000 in the regisrty and run 2000 setup with USB lead unplugged.

After installation is complete change the version to Microsoft Windows XP back and reboot. Plug your USB sucker in and enjou scanning.

They say it works, actually, this is Mustek keeps telling its customers, I rad posts about how it worked after this.

In my case the old sucker is still dead....

So if you got anything and started the bastard - please drop me a line.

Ciao now
