You're doomed. When ME has hardware it likes, it's fine. When it doesn't like something then the show's over and there's no arguing with it. ME has no support at all for real mode device drivers and *automatically* substitutes a virtual device driver when it finds something trying to call up a real mode driver...and there's NO way to turn this "feature" off. And if Windows ME's choice of drivers is wrong or if the driver it selects just doesn't *quite* work...say good night. I suspect this (or something very similar) is the root of your problem. Check to see if there are updated drivers on the web for both the USB card and the scanner. If not, you need to either upgrade (Windows 2000 is my recommendation) or go back to Windows 98. Email me privately if you need more info. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
