New software not working correctly in user profiles.

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

Hi there,

I am unable to get new Epson scanner software to work correctly - different
parts
work to some effect on some profiles ( four in use), but not fully on any
one. Re-install with USB lead plugged in seems to have caused further
problems, uninstall and reinstall now seems to repeat same issues.

If I uninstalled all folder/references to Epson in regedit under H-key
entries would I be able to do a clean install, or would I make things (much)
worse???

I have been advised to "eneble load and unload device drive" in WIndows
Security settings - can anyone advise how to do this?

Thanks,

Pete.

Thanks for the reply Mark,

When I tried your suggestion I get error Message "cannot open the file".
Anything else I can try?

Thanks

Pete.

These otions were not available on initial instal. I fear I have complicated
matters by reinstalling with USB connected, now subsequent installs do not
work correctly on any profile. Hence question re deleting references in
registry "H key" section.

Thanks for suggestions,

Pete.
