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



Failed to uninstall the device The device may be required to boot up the

Here are a few ideas.

Is the old scanner unplugged? Shut down and physically remove it.

Uninstall whatever software may be associated with your device microtek
(your old scanner) in Add or Remove Programs.

There may be a related SERVICE to do with your old scanner, that may be
what's causing the "The device may be required to boot up the computer"
message. The service MAY be listed in Non-Plug and Play Drivers in Device
manager.* Open services.msc and look around.

Disable and Stop the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service.

Boot into Safe Mode and try to uninstall your device microtek.

* For example, I have two services listed in the registry related to a cable
modem...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\brgwnd5
DCM-201 DOCSIS Cable Modem (NDIS)
System32\DRIVERS\brgwnd5.sys

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\brgwunic
DCM-201 DOCSIS Cable Modem (WDM)
System32\DRIVERS\brgwunic.sys

Those used to show up here...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
and in Non-Plug and Play Drivers in Device manager.

They do not show up any more because I uninstalled every thing related to
that modem.

I just used ControlSet002 as an example. Do NOT mess with ControlSet001 or
ControlSet002.

ControlSet001 may be the last control set you booted with, while
ControlSet002 could be what is known as the last known good control set, or
the control set that last successfully booted Windows NT. The
CurrentControlSet subkey is really a pointer to one of the ControlSetXXX
keys.

Folowed your instructions however on viewing the devices (hidden) after
selecting the command prompt I found a device microtek (my old scanner)
which refused to uninstall. When I tried I got the message: "Failed to
uninstall the device. The device may be required to boot up the computer"
I still can not install my Canon 4400F scanner. I believe if I can remove
all reference to "Microtek" i would be home free. Any suggestions?

Recommended resolution
Reasons for this error include a driver that is not present; a binary
file that is corrupted; a file I/O problem, or a driver that references
an entry point in another binary file that could not be loaded.

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

-- 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.
