Right. So I have an Acer ScanPrisa 640P, and it's been in the family for about ... 5 years. I have an installation CD for something known as 'MiraScan', which is the 'TWAIN-compliant' driver for the scanner. Anyway, I've installed that, and I've tried to scan in a document, but even though the connections are proper, the computer still doesn't detect the scanner. I've tightened the connections -- and I've noticed that the printer is connected to the scanner, which in turn is connected to the CPU, which I assume is the proper way of doing this. I was wondering why the computer wasn't detecting the scanner, and whether it has anything to do with the fact that my driver is 'out-of-date' (it's compliant with Win 95/98/NT, apparently). If this be the case, why won't Windows detect the scanner, like it normally does? And where can/should I get a new driver? Thanks for all the help! =)
