Mustek MFC-600S + WinXP-Pro - non-stop detecting
Hi,
I recently moved from Win-98-SE to Win-XP-Pro. With instructions from www.mustek.com.pl and drivers from ftp.mustek.com.pl I finally installed my Mustek MFC-600S (connected through ISA SCSI card) and it works great but there's one problem: System is detecting new device all the time! It is 'Mustek 1200P' and after passing the installation steps the system still is detecting new device. Now, if I install the new device for the second time I have two scanners in device manager. How many times I install the new device (it is still the same scanner) that many times it displays in device manager, so I temporarily installed just one scanner, it works fine, but have to keep the 'Adding new device creator' window always on my desktop. If I keep installing or close the window it will reappear in 5 seconds. What can I do? Regards Maciej Zalewski Poland |

When you get the screen in XP that gives the warning about the driver not being signed. Click "Continue Anyway". -- CSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com -- |

I had to click "continue anyway" to install the drivers properly. The problem is OS wants to install it all over and over again! -- Maciej |

XP has a DLL cache (hidden) in the Windows folder, where all the system restore functions get their files. If you try to delete the normal files, XP restores the bad file(s) automatically. Look in the Device Manager for the Scanner entries, if any are marked with a Yellow mark, then delete (remove) that entry, Reboot. The Scanner should be listed under Imaging when the scanner is connected and turned on. If you have multiple entries, delete all, reboot. When XP asks to install the driver, Click Cancel, until no more asking then do the next paragraph. Try uninstalling the driver (look for remove driver in Start menu or in Control PanelAdd Remove Programs), then reboot the computer. Then a clean install of the driver. Reboot. The following is a LAST resort. If that does not stop XP asking over and over, search the register for the scanner items. Look for any entry that says the scanner is not installed, it may be "Installed" Yes or No. If you find one, then try changing to Yes. Remember, backup any register entries before changing. Also, if you find more than one instance of the scanner in the register, then backup that entry then delete that extra entry. If you delete the wrong entry, XP will not find the scanner. Restore then try the other. Warning, Register editing is dangerous, you can really screw up the system. To edit the Register, StartRunregeditenter or OK. -- CSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com -- |
