Epson scanner not reinstalling?

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
:confused:

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.

Note>

This self-extracting file contains the Epson Perfection V200 Photo EPSON Scan Utility and TWAIN Driver v3.12A for Windows XP, XP 64-bit Edition, 2000 and Vista 32-bit and 64-bit Editions. This file extracts to your hard drive and is placed in a folder that begins with c:\epson\epson12526…

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.
?????
tks
eg

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Disconnect all USB stuff and see if that helps out.

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

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.

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?

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

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

what is this?
-----------------------------------------

can you add a 6 port usb hub to the rear and stay 2.0?

SUCCESS

Now that it's installed, can i switch it to the usb hub?

The download from Epson i did last night of drivers, i never unzipped, did it just find them b y Vista?

It runs,
i'm not sure what i unplugged it was prob the camera dock, it was it's working

thanks
eg

No, they are not in Vista, I had to install them to use the V200.

But a lot of USB devices need to hooked directly to the computer. You can try the hub, but I never would with a scanner.

Theoretically, it shouldn't make the slightest difference whether it is plugged into a hub or not. In practice, you have to find whatever works and stick to that. FWIW, I have my Epson V700 plugged into hub and it works just fine.

Thanks guys

the logitech quick cam was what caused the problem and that problem was me, the cam will not show "me in the photo" in windows messenger live, it works fine seeing and hearing the other party, and they can see me , so i added it to cameras and scanners, for some reason logitech stayed there all the time wheter in use or not, as i understand they only show there "when in use"? so some how this got corrupted there and caused the epson not to be installed correctly, now it is,

later i'll reinstll the quickcam and switch the scanner from the back of the pc to the front, and put the cam back there.

tonight when i booted the taskbar had a notice drivers are installed your devices are wotking, printer camera dock and generic unknown.

i understand the drivers are not part of vista, but when you install something it gives you the option of searching your system or whereever you let it, so my point was the download for the epson i did to my desktop i never unzipped it so the drivers were found some where by the device or through vista???

ttrain-- what is this 1,

thanks again ss and t

eg

Logitech strikes again :( :( Why am I not surprised?

I switched the scanner to the front usb and it installed drivers, working..
fyi
tks
eg

is logitech messy, you seem to infer, my first experience wth a cam.:eek:

My experience of Logitech (all of it bad :( ), is that the hardware itself is absolutely fine. However, they are incapable of writing a decent driver even if their lives depended on it. It's just problem after problem, and on their own forums, where you can find hundreds of posts all describing the same issue, they have the gall to deny that there is a problem :mad:

Suffice to say, I avoid Logitech stuff like the plague these days.

Here you go.

I just boxed it up called the store, taking it back, i found what you are saying on logitech , no support at all

live and learn?
tks

eg

SS
Which cams work for you, i'm using vista hp 32 bit, i returned the logitech

Tr,
The extension cables, those are not muti hokups, or were you referring to a 2.0 or 2500 so it stayed away from 1.1 potential?

tks
eg

I use a single hook up. I never push the USB.
Scanner and maybe a usb stick is max.

KB and mouse are ps/2.

I can't help you there I'm afraid, I've never felt the need for a webcam.
