Re: cannot install Epson Stylus scanner driver *error code 39*



YEAH!!...I FOUND THE ANSWER AND IT WORKS!!

IT WAS A LOGITECH WEBCAM PROBLEM....I INSTALLED AND UNINSTALLED THIS WEBCAM
LONG-TIME AGO. WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW AT THAT TIME WAS THAT IT DIDN'T REMOVE AN
IMPORTANT DATA FIELD IN MY WINDOWS REGISTRY:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}

I JUST REMOVED THE TEXT "LVMVDRV" IN THE LOWERFILTERS SECTION OF THE KEY,
CLOSED MY REGISTRY, SHUT-OFF MY EPSON ALL-IN-ONE U.S.B. PRINTER, AND
RE-BOOTED MY COMPUTER.

THEN AS SOON AS WINDOWS DESKTOP CAME-UP, I TURNED ON MY PRINTER. WINDOWS
FINALLY FOUND AND INSTALLED MY EPSON PRINTER'S SCANNER
DRIVER.....YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

MORAL OF THE STORY: DO NOT EVER UNISTALL A LOGITECH WEBCAM. IT WILL
PREVENT YOU FROM INSTALLING ANOTHER IMAGING DEVICE ON YOUR COMPUTER

Yes i did check to make sure i had the latest software package from Epson
I even tried installing the drivers on a friend's laptop and it worked.
So the problem must be local to my Windows XP environment.
Is there any way i can check to make sure my system is not corrupted ?
Its just too weird that it allows me to install the printer driver, the
fax
driver
but not the scanner driver ......thx a bunch for your effort(s)

There is nothing different in Media Center Edition than Home or Pro in
regards to installing hardware.

i have an ES CX9400Fax Series All-In-One. I'm able to install the
printer
and fax drivers, but not the scanner driver...i get the following
message
in
device driver.

**Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver
may
be
corupted or missing. (Code 39) **

I had the same issue with a Canon MX300 and returned it thinking that
it
was a
corrupted driver from the manufacturer.

Now i realize it has something to do with my Windows XP media center
edition
How do i check and fix the problem ?
