Epson 1200U problem in Vista Ultimate
Hi, my great little Epson 1200U scanner won't install in Vista Ultimate.
Epson does not have a driver for Vista. The "fix" that is floating around the Internet (disconnect scanner, download latest XP driver, unzip contents, access properties in the setup.exe progam, check the XP SP2 compatibility box, run setup.exe, plug in scanner, praying to the computer gods) does not work in Ultimate. Vista detects the scanner and starts installing the drivers, but says there is an error installing the drivers because it couldn't find a file. It doesn't say what file it couldn't find. Does anyone have advice, another workaround or ??? I really don't want to have to buy a new scanner...help! |
