Problem with Camera recognition on XP

I have a Canon A95 and am using Windows XP:
In order to have the computer recognize my camera, I have to unplug my scanner - reboot the computer- reconnect the camera - then it works.

However - now the scanner doesn't work. I have to disconnect the camera - reboot the computor - connect the scanner - now the scanner works.

SURELY THERE MUST BE A SOLUTION TO THIS DELEMA!!

PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP ME WITH SOME SOUND ADVICE!

Iver

Since both are TWAIN devices and the software isn't smart enough to know which TWAIN device you're wanting to use. You'll have to tell the software what device to use and you'll have to tell it every time you open it.

In the software you use to get the images from the scanner, for example, look for a "Select Source" option. Often it's under File but it could be anywhere, depending on the software. Once you find and click on "Select Source" (or whatever wording that software uses), you should get a small window with both devices listed. Choose the scanner.

The same process applies when wanting to access the camera. Tell the software first which device to use.

At least, that's the process I have to go through.

For me the problem was NOT with Window XP.

Today I installed a new driver in my Lexmark X83: Driver
# CJXP83LE

BOTH work beautifly now - AT THE SAME TIME!!!
