I bought a used Umax 2000U for use on a Windows XP Pro computer. The
scanner didn't come with the drivers, so I downloaded the following
files vs355su.exe and 2xxx_XP_upd.exe and found the instructions posted
by others on usenet on how to install the drivers and updater. The
posts kept mentioning updating the driver through Device Manager which
I did and also seeing 2 drivers, one being a Microsoft driver and the
other an unsigned Umax driver. I NEVER saw a second driver to select
from. I then went back to usenet and found a post mentioning
downloading the 4000U for Win2000 file which would have the 2000U
driver included. I did, and FINALLY I saw the second unsigned Umax
driver selection. I also installed the 2xxx_XP_upd.exe file and ran
the scanner test, which tested okay and I was able to scan a few pics.
My question is though I still have in the lower right-hand corner of
the screen a red circle with a line through it, which makes me think
something is not working like it should. I would appreciate any
insight since this is my first scanner and I'm really just learning how
to use it.
Thanks,
Sherry
