Astra Scanner

[Guest]

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

I installed Windows XP on my computer. I have a Umax Astra 2200 usb scanner.
When I connected it to the computer it installs and says it is working
properly. But when I try to scan the Wizard works, but the scanner will not
scan. I would like to keep using this scanner. Can some one help me with this
problem. The scanner worked great with 98SE. Thanks

I would almost think that it would be a driver issue. I would go to the
manufacturers site and see if there are any update or other software you
could use.

LOL, when you get three different poeple asking if you installed the
drivers, that makes a pretty solid answer

Do note that there is a KB Article just for this device:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q315925

It basically tells you to go here and install the latest updates which
happens to be a simple patch for XP. The drivers/software cannot be
downloaded and must be installed on XP. Then install this update:
ftp://ftp.umax.com/scanners/vistascan/version3.55/winXP/2xxx_XP_upd.exe
