Re: Scanner not showing up in Control Panel/Scanners and Cameras



Hello Wes,

K..this is what I found. It may sound really simple when you read it, and it
was, it was just hard to figure out why??? After running devmgr and following
your instruction I decided to try and install the camera first. AHA...the
camera loaded fine along with its' own software. After seeing this I decided
to try and load the scanner and software again and voila, everything is back
to normal again.

Is it possible that some of the files that the webcam was using were being
shared with the scanner files. My guess would be a positive yes. I have not
bothered to reverse the install just incase I did not get lucky a second
time...which would make no sense at all unless we really wanted to nail this
problem down.

I hope this helps some others out there and all your help was great. Please,
keep up all the great technical support in the fashion you do!

Regards,
RDRR

Hello Wesley,

Followed intructions to a tee and same results. I am thinking that a fresh
Windows XP install to correct the problem may be neccassary. Any other ideas?
Much appreciated!

Reasons for this error include a driver that is not present; a binary file

Uninstall the driver, and then click Scan for hardware changes to reinstall

RDRR <RDRR@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
-- Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may
be corrupted or missing. (Code 39).... is the message I receive while in
Device Manager checking to see if my scanner or webcam is being loaded
properly. When I plug either into a USB port either front or back 2.0
ports, it recognizes the device by name but then a second window appears
stating that I may have problems using this device (this is shown in the
task bar by the clock). I have ran both the scanner and the webcam on
another computer and there were no issues. Neither device shows up in the
Control Panel thus leaving me to beleive a thread or registry entry may
be wrong or corrupted. The scanner and webcam do come up under Imaging
Devices and not Other Devices while in Device Manager. I have spoken with
Canon, the scanner manufacturer and they advised that it may be a windows
issue. Any ideas are most welcomed here as this is driving me nuts.
