smartcomputing.com Hi Lamar, Along with the URL furnished by TC, I have about 8 or 10 TWAIN drivers I can e-mail you that came with my Afgan SnapScan (USB) scanner, also some from MS PictureIT 99, some from PhotoShop, Photo Deluxe 2.0. I will include folder each are located in on my HD. I like the USB connection and have had zero problems with scanner. Not sure if it will help but will be happy to try. Regards, /jw ps: send e-mail address.

what you may have, depending on where you are connecting, is a power shortage. under the heading, 'Unreliable USB Ports' in pcworld april 2001 issue, i found this.... ****************************** "A USB port doesn't just connect the PC to peripherals, it also delivers electricity to power them. Some USB ports, like those on a PC or on the base of a monitor, are self-powered and can easily run USB devices. But ports with no power source of their own, including those on a keyboard, provide less power. Adding an item with limited power requirements, such as a mouse, usually doesn't pose a problem. But power-hungry USB devices, such as speakers and scanners, can cause an overload--or sometimes even shut down the entire USB port. You have two choices: Either connect the power-hungry peripheral to a self-powered port (like one on a computer), or invest in a multiple-port, self-powered hub like the $80 Belkin BusStation." ****************************** pcworld.com
