"Scanner not found" message

Tried to use the scanner and am unable to do so. Have no idea why the computer cannot find the scanner. Machine starts up fine and seems ready to go. I removed the scanner from the hardware list, uninstalled it and then re-installed it to no avail.

I have found a support site for your scanner that may be of some help... Please check your ports are compatible.. as far as speed and type. Have you installed the MOST up to date drivers etc? Check all cables etc. support.microtek.com/product_dtl_2.phtml?prod_id=22

Computer can't "see" scanner even though plugged into USB port

please check:
if other usb-devices work with your pc, so usb ports of your machine are ok.
try connecting the printer to another machine, using same procedure as u did with the old one

did you get any installation cd with it?
any newer drivers for your win-system available?( inet, manufacturers homepage)

if your system and the printer passed the hardware check, install newer drivers and try again.

wish u luck

Artec e +48u scanner

quite possible the scanner motor finnaly gave out but lets look at other things first

try connecting to another usb port on comp before that completly take out all of the scanners drivers and programs this could be a simple file corrupt

i know you tried this but sometimes putting a new driver over old driver doesnt usually change the old drivers properties this is when you completly take out all drivers and software and start from scratch for this scanner
