Scanner problem starting.

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Hello,

I recently reformatted drive C:\ and reinstalled everything. I have did
this before with no problems. This time when I start, a scanner scan, it
takes about 3 minutes for it to do the scan. I checked device manager and
all of the usb items say they are working properly. Any idea why it starts
slow now??? I rave uninstalled and reinstalled the program. The scanner is
a Epson 2450 Photo. I have downloaded and installed all the updates for XP
from Epson. In Control Panel / Scanners and Cameras , the scanner is
present and I can scan there and everything looks ok. As I remember it
starts scanning normal there. Thanks in advance.
