Ka2H, Thanks for the advice. Logitech FINALLY admitted that it "appears that
I have a defective device" and I am returning it. As for Visioneer.... I
think it is safe to say (based on their "no-support") that I will never again
purchase a Visioneer/Nuance/ScanSoft product!

I have several USB ports on my Dell 4600. I have a USB mouse (which works
fine), but my Visioneer 9220 USB scanner and my Logitech QuickCam Communicate
USB camera stopped working for no apparent reason. If I plug one of the
non-working devices into the port for the working mouse, still nothing!
I am running Windows XP PRO/SP2, with 1Gb of RAM, with all current updates
installed. Dell says that there examination of the hardware shows that
everything appears OK.
Visioneer has no tech support.
- and neither does it look like you can have a late version of the Visioneer
9220 USB scanner driver from their WEB site. However may you find useful
information regarding the USB problem on their Knowledge Database references:

and

Logitech does not know
how to suggest a fix.

PLEASE HELP! Thanks!
This “USB device stopped working for no apparent reason” is a recurring
issue in many Newsgroups, and apparently not always easily resolved. But of
course there IS a reason, if not always apparent. Two main sources for
causing the problem are change - / adding hardware and software (drivers) and
following conflicts as consequence.
It is difficult to give a precise advice on how to resolve your case, as
little information is available regarding the activities which took place
between the “ok - and not ok situation”, like adding hardware and/or software
e.g manual – or automatic updates etc. I would for a start unplug the scanner
and camera, and remove and reinstall USB controllers (preferably firstly the
camera and verify that it works) as per “General USB troubleshooting in
Windows XP”,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310575/en-us
The drivers to reinstall should be the latest versions from Visioneer (if
obtainable, otherwise use as when first installed) and Logitech.
