I've just accuired a second hand scanner, a scanMagic 600CU. I understand that a window is supposed to pop-up once I plug it in. Unfortunately, it hasn't done that and there's no mention of a scanner on the control panel. Please don't use too many jive words, as I've had none or very little experience in installing Software or Hardware. Thanks.

It also appears even if the microphone is disconnected and I try to record something. Upon playback, I hear the same whine. I just barely got this computer and the Logitech microphone to go with it, but I can't figure out just what could be causing this to happen. I'm trying to get Speech Recognition up and running, but it won't let me pass the test, could this whine be the problem? Thanks!

i've had the desktop for about 2yrs, just got a laptop, so i let my sis-in-law use the desktop.. now my laptop wont boot, when i push the power button it turns on then turns back off then turns itself back on then off over & over. so i got the desktop back and hooked that up, as soon as it's turned on and goes to the desktop screen messages pop up that say netscape, or int. explorer, what ever it wants has performed an illegal operation and either shuts everything off or if i don't do anything with it for a minute it'll just freeze up. is there anything i can do to fix either of these my self or am i gonna have to pay someone to get in there and fix them? any honest help is appreciated.
