Shut down computer. Connect scanner to the computer. Turn on scanner then turn on computer. If you have to unplugged your scanner for some reason use the same USB port that you installed it on or it sometimes wont see it or think its a new device and want to reinstall.

when it says this, it basically means that there is something trying to use it already. this could be from corrupt drivers and such. maybe even a sort of malware. very doubtful thought. try reinstalling the drivers and software for it. just run the setup program for the scanner. no need to uninstall the old ones.

Try plugging in into the back of your computer (if you are using a USB port)
