Plustek OpticPro 9630P scanner

[Kontrollverlust]

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 read that the Windows 2000 drivers work just fine.

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.
