Just read your note. I just tried the following today:
1-Installed my LSI Logic SCSI card Vista recognized and
installed no problem
2-Connected my HP5pse to the LSI card
3-Rebooted my system and Vista tried to install the driver for
the scanner. None was found. The install then was terminated.
4-Reconnected my scanner to my XP system.
I have Paperport installed on the Vista system but since my scanner is
not available I am stuck.
I went to the link in your note but was unable to find anything to
pull down. On my Xp system the scanner works fine. Could you please
post detail instruction. Since I have the scanner working on the Xp
box the drives might be there already and i do not know what to look
for or where to look.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Oldman
