USB ports not working
« on: April 05, 2005, 12:34:33 PM »
Running win 98, cannot get USB ports to work.  Checked Bias and they are enabled.  Looked in System and I don't see them listed.  Any suggestions.

    If you are connecting an usb device then you need to install teh usb driver for that device.  You should have a CDROM or something with the device driver

    I installed the software several times that came with the scanner.  It shows the scanner listed in the programs but when I try to use it , an error message comes up and tells me that it can't find the twain driver.  When that didn't work I went to the Artec web-site and download a new driver but still it can't fine it.  I downloaded the utility to check your USB ports and it ssays I have to upgrade my hardware.  It tells me that the windows propram will support the USB ports but the hardware doesn't.  Not being very good at this I don't know what to do next. Like I said it doesn't show the USB ports listed in the device manager.

      I think you need to purchase a new usb pci card to install to your pc to support your new scanner.  I know you have installed the scanner software but have you installed the usb driver for Win98? Tell me, does the scanner spec says it will run on Win98?

      Is this the first time you have tried to use the USB ports for anything, including the scanner?
