Hello,
I have bought the 2rd scanner and alltogether I tried the 3rd scanner to
install and to use with WINDOWS XP Home edition, but the scanner part of
my
registry must be destroyed:

The CANON LIDE 50 Scanner at the USB bus was found, but when I call the
scanner driver , the scanner is not found (cable not connected, but it
is
connected, and using another PC the same scammer functions well!) ,

Have you followed the recommendations to first install the software before
connecting? If not, remove the software, clean the registry from
references
you can find (make a backup, and rename the references so it's easy to
undo
the change). Also make sure you only have one scanner on USB, and you
might
try removing other USB devices during the install.


Thank you for your answer!

Yes exactly this I have done several times!
In 2001 with a HP scanner , and a week ago with the CANON scanner, both USB,
and with my old HP scanner with parallel port in2001, 2002 and now again
with 3 updated drivers - now all for Windows XP!

and the
HP scanner driver at the parallel port can not even be installed
correctly,
because the registry entries from the inf file of the HP scanner are not
found changed after setup in the registry.

Is the driver XP compatible? Always update to the latest driver version
before attempting a new install.

SNIP
Has anybody similar problems with scanner using Windows XP??

Not that it will help you, but no I have no difficulties. Scanners are on
USB, FireWire and SCSI.

Has anybody a tip or an advice how to repair the registry manually or by
a
program available??

Although probably too late now, don't forget to make a restore point
before
attempting an installation of new software.
Perhaps a system restore point was made before you started, try restoring
to
that state. If not, it may be hard to remove everything. Any way, start
with
the "Software" keys and rename or remove the Canon references.


In 2001 I could not restore the system using the system restore after one of
my many attempts!
I think that in that time an error in the registry from one driver was
caused, ans since this time the "scanner and camera" module in Windows XP is
corrupted!

Is there any possibility to reinstall this module without a new installation
of Windows XP??
That would be possible if there were more and more powerful competitors of
Microsoft!

But very few scanner producers offer LINUX drivers apart from that I can not
use LINUX because of my work at this time!!
