Hi!
Several years ago I bought a scanner Skytec ScanMagic 1200 CP+. Till last
week i had an old PC with mainboard built on VXProII chipset and Win98SE/ME
installed on it (LPT set in BIOS to EPP and seen like that under Win). Now I
have an K7VTA3 mainboard with WinXP. My problem is connected with drivers
for this scanner. Earlier I had no problems with scanner and now i can't
find the right drivers for it. My XP says that my LPT is an ECP port (BIOS
is set fot ECP+EPP - any other choice forces the computer to reboot when XP
shows first time the wallpaper), I can install the old driver that I got
with the scanner but they don't work under the XP. I found that Skytec is a
clone of MUSTEK and that i can install Mustek drivers. So I've installed the
drivers (Mustek ScanMagic 1200 CP+) but the scanner doesn't work as it
sholud. On "previev" stops every 3-4cm and normal scanning is much slower
than it was on old drivers under Win98SE/ME. Does anyone know what should I
do? I use modem to connect to the internet so I can't download every driver
that could work - it costs to much in Poland ;-( Is there any chance to fix
the problem or do I have to buy another scanner? Thanks for every answers!
Best regards, Rafal.
PS.
Sorry for my english. I didn't use it for 8 years ;-)
