I have tried for four days to try and get my win98 system to add my elux scanner driver into my system. However, it does't want to read the driver from my original scanner disk or from downloads of what i presume to be updated drivers. All the software (Presto)installs ok, but when i come to scan, the interface of the scanner software appears for a split second and then fizzles out. Would someone have any idea what i may have to do to make my scanner work. (when using win95, i didn't have any problems)
Thanks muchly

Have you read the readme file on the installation disk, and installed the drivers prior to hooking up the scanner???

Hi, this may not be appropiate, but are you using drivers written for 98 or the drivers you had for 95?
