John;
Uninstall the driver as much as you can and disconnect the scanner.

Start/Run
Type "regedit" ENTER
Navigate to HKEY Local Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB
Under USB there will be one or more "Vid_****&pid_****"
Open them up one at a time until you find the one for your scanner.
Then delete that Vid key under USB

Following this should be safe but back-up the registry just in case:

Try installing the scanner on another computer.
Otherwise contact the scanner manufacturer, something may be wrong
with the scanner.
