Epson scanner not reinstalling?

[egdufwollamhsram1851]

Well i guess i had a taste of Vista..Epson scanner got mixed with logitech quickcam in scanners and cameras. i have uninstalled the quick cam,logitech, it was being shown as the scanner and i can't get the epson to be shown. i deleted the logitech from device manager,, after it was uninstalled from control panel,, that took it out of the scanner image , now i can't get a driver recognized, to add the epson to scanners ans cameras. there is an unknown usb device in device manager and the scanner will noit appear there. the only thing i may have done is install with the devices connected. i have checked all connections,
the scanner is an epson v200 photo, and was ok till the quick cam install. i downloaded the driver from epson, unzipped it, but it doesn't recognize.
if you can make anything out of this malarkey?????

tks
eg


the only other thing i haven't tried ia a different usb port, other than uninstalling everything again, and having all diaconnected.

Uninstall the Epson in whatever add/remove is called.
Reboot a couple times.
Now double click the WAIN Driver and EPSON Scan Utility v3.12A and install it.

The drivers got corrupted.

i have uninstalled as much of epson i could find, did a disk cleanup, doing a defrag, i tried to find the Wain driver but i could not see it, after i get it defragged, i'll try to install again, everything is disconnected "usb cables, power, do i then unzip the drivers i have on the desktop from epson? then hookup the usb and power?
never had an issue like this but i think i know why.
?????

i'll check with you tomorrow for response before i try.

i got a 14/2 i gotta get a hole dug for tomorrow

Possible typo - that should probably be TWAIN driver.

[egdufwollamhsram1851]

i realized that but i had uninstalled most so was just asking the question anyway "twain"

[Train]

I hope the scanner usb is unplugged from the computer. It tells you when you can plug it in.
Wain - Twain , Yep a Typo

Try shutting the computer down, wait 1 minute, then boot back up. If something is hung up in the ram, that should clear it.

If all else fails, use System Restore to roll back to a point when the scanner was working OK. That usually fixes driver problems.

[egdufwollamhsram1851]

If it's on a usb hub, disconnect it there or disconnect the hub from the back?

i won't try it tell you say

tks

i forgot about the sys restore, it's about a week i'd guess maybe 2, since i screwed with this web cam

[Train]

Disconnect it from the hub and when you do connect it, plug it into the computer and not the hub the first time.

[egdufwollamhsram1851]

ok, last night i kept getting the error message in the task bar device not recognized,.. in device manager, the first one listed was unknown,, it's not the first one now, it says no drivers loaded or not required?

eg

i have not attempted reinstall yet , just got my 14/2 hole finished

[Train]

Disconnect all USB stuff and see if that helps out.

[egdufwollamhsram1851]

when i had this built a couple years ago i think the guy told me one usb may not function on the front because of the media card reader// why is it the back is shown for hookups and not the front or hubs?

eg

[Train]

I have no idea. But I know some fronts are only 1.2 and not 2.0 like we would like.

I hooked a extention cable to one of my rear USB ports. Spendy, but it sure helps out.

[egdufwollamhsram1851]

1.so an extension cable is?? 2. and that gives you more ports at 2.0? 3. if you put a 6 port on the rear?

[Train]

Yes, you can add a usb 2.0 pci card.
A Example of a 6 port card.
