When I turn the pc on, the Scanner clicks and the bar moves a little.
its seen by the PC OK , not by the canoscan toolbox or by the scan
program that is part of windows 7.

Is it attached to a USB port on the PC itself? ISTR they're not very
happy on USB hubs (not even powered ones).

Does it appear under Imaging devices in Device Manager (Control Panel
- Administrative Tools - Computer Management - Device Manager)? Try
'scan for hardware changes'.
