Does anybody know how I can get my Plustek OpticPro 9630P scanner to work in WindowsXP?? The original software CD was lost...even though that wouldn't help me out. Just wondering if there is a way I could get my scanner to work with WindowsXP Professional. Thanks in advance for any help

I downloaded the drivers and it installed some stuff. I am able to run the "Scanner Utility" it installed. I can flip my scanner light on and off. How do I go about actually scanning pictures now? I tried to do add new scanner then "have disk" but I couldn't find any .inf files for the scanner...

it may have put theme where the files were extracted (i dont know where that is) or try c:windowsinf
To scan pictures, you need a program and you have to import using the twain device for the scanner

The files seem to have been extracted to C:op9630p but I don't see any .inf files there

Right after it extracted all these files there it ran some setup.exe program automatically...is there any way to monitor the files the setup.exe put out there? Maybe I could find it that way..
Any reccomendations for a program I could use with my scanner?

i've made SOME conctact with the scanner. With the little tool it installed, i can flip the light on and off

Now I just need to figure out how to scan pictures and do all that stuff....possibly find a program to help me...i don't know
ive got the same scanner. when i ran the win2k compatability prog it said it wasnt compatible. cant you run xp in some kind of compatability mode?
anyway, i have the cd that came with the damn thing and could send it to you if you want it.

I have the same scanner and have given up on it. It worked fine in 95 and 98, but I never could get it to work on 2k or XP. It's sitting in a box in my closet right now. It was pretty old anyways and the scans weren't that great. Scanners are cheaper these days, I would just buy a new one.
