i simply cannot find scanner & camera wizard at all
under all programs or all programs accessories
That's because the Scanner and Camera Wizard does not exist in any of those
places.
If you want it there, see my previous post, create a shortcut to
wiaacmgr.exe and put the shortcut any where that you so desire.

Try this tip from Steve Winograd...
First client's computer with XP SP 2: The Scanner and Camera Wizard
didn't run automatically when she connected her digital camera.
Solution: disable the Real Player update scheduler in Msconfig and kill
the running process.
wiaacmgr.exe is the Windows Picture Acquisition Wizard.
There are several ways to start the Scanner and Camera Wizard.
To start the Scanner and Camera Wizard.
1. Open a Pictures folder, like My Pictures.
2. In the left pane, click Get pictures from camera or scanner.
3. The Welcome to the Scanner and Camera Wizard page opens.
If the WIA service is disabled or not running or if your scanner or
camera is not connected to the computer and turned on, you will not see
the Get pictures from camera or scanner option.
Make sure that the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service is not
disabled...
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) |
Set it to Manual under Startup type | Click Apply | Click OK |
Close services
You can also start the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service...

4. Double-click the icon for your scanner or camera.

error message...

wiaacmgr.exe is the Windows Picture Acquisition Wizard.
wiaacmgr.exe live in these two folders...

A scanner will work perfectly well with a program like Paper Port with
the WIA service not running.

Get pictures from camera or scanner option is missing from a pictures
folder.
First, make sure that your scanner or camera is connected to your
computer and turned on.

to

To test a camera or scanner
1. Open My Computer.
2. Locate the scanner or camera, right click and select Properties.
3. On the General tab, click the Test Camera or Test Scanner button.
This will perform a diagnostic test to confirm that the device is
installed
properly.
* You must have a camera or scanner installed and connected to your
computer
to view properties.
* A message will tell you if the scanner or camera completed the test
successfully.
This is the message...
Your imaging device successfully completed the diagnostic test.
--------
