scanner drivers

artoo · 11-21-2008, 08:04 PM

Anyone know if there are Vista drivers for a UMAX Astra 1200U flatbed scanner? I did try one I found on a website that has a lot of Windows drivers but the scanner still couldn't be detected.

Thanks

I tried that one and still couldn't find my scanner. And every time I turn it on, Vista keeps searches for the drivers and says it cant find any.

try installing the drivers and software with the scanner disconnected

that didn't help either and the scanner doesn't show up in the scanners & camera list after it supposedly gets installed. It does show up in the Drivers Manager along with the unknown device that Vista picks up every time i turn on the scanner after installing the drivers.

click on the scanners entry in the device manager and see what it says about it
