Scanner help: can not install any scanner : is it possible to repair "still image" , i.e. scanners, part of registry in Windows XP without new installation?
"tah" wrote in message ... 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. 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 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??

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!! |
