Check usb cable

Instead of double clicking the icon to install the program, right click on the icon and click run as administrator. This should give you the permissions you need to complete the install.

There is no Vista driver for he N340P.

If it is XP, you should just click on the Camera icon in Control Panel. If Vista you have to install an application. Try MSN Messenger and connect to a friend with video link or google picasa.

I guess I found a solution for the problem.
I also got this error message after installing ControlCenter3. Failed to start ControlCentre3 - re-install software, with the error No CC3-001-00001907. The numbers at the end can change, but that's not important.
I have two laptops running vista. I got this error with the 1st laptop. Then I tried it with the second laptop, it worked fine. That made me think: On the first laptop I had tried to install the ControlCenter3 from the CD, but it turned out that the CD did not support Vista. Then I got the vista driver/ControlCenter3 package from the Brother website. This is the one that did not work on laptop one. What I then guessed was, that I had some ugly remains from the installation of the old driver (not for vista). I started cleaning the registry. First of all I run the driver uninstall program from Brother (free from their website) then I cleaned the registry with CCleaner (freeware). Still that was not enough. I started the regedit program and started searching for the term Brother. It was still there in about 10 or more places. I deleted all records that were connected with my brother printer (a DCP-130C). Then I run CCleaner once more. Then I installed the vista driver package (from brother website). Restarted and voila: it worked. ControlCenter3 workes fine now. I started the ControlCenter3 update (also on brother website) and finally with the scanner utility put the scanner resolution limit up higher. That's it.
Before working with the registry make a backup, please.
This procedure should also work for other brother printers using the controlcenter3. It should also work for other systems than vista.
Cheers, hope this was helpful.

Go to this link and type "cannot communicate with scanner" in the search box. Click Search. Then select the "ERROR: Cannot communicate with scanner" link. You will see several things to try to correct your problem. Usually, this error shows up if there is another USB device connected which prevents the computer from "seeing" the scanner, even though it can print without problem. So do try to disconnect any other USB device (except mouse or keyboard) and reboot the system.

On Windows 2000, XP, and Vista, you can get to Device Manager by right clicking on your desktop's "My Computer" (or "Computer" for Vista) and select "Properties". Then click the "Hardware" tab. Then click the "Device Manager" button (Vista may be slightly different).

As for why they are recognized on your friend's laptop but not yours, it's going to depend on what operating systems both are running and what the brand/models of the camera and scanner are. If there are drivers required to run the camera and scanner, try uninstalling and reinstalling them.
