| Medion MD9458 flatbed scanner won't work in Windows XP |
|---|
|
Problem:
The driver file "sca9458win9xp.exe" from the Medion website does not work, Windows reports that the scanner "failed to operate".
|
Solution:After months of searching for the original driver that shipped with my scanner, I finally found it on a pay-site. Since this really SUCKS, please download my copy from
http://home.atc.no/~floyd/download/medion_MD9458.exe
and share it...
Since I had already tried half a dozen different drivers, I had to do the following to make my scanner work properly:
1. Extract the archive in a temp directory
2. Run SETUP.EXE and install the driver
3. Right-click on " My Computer" and select " Properties"
4. In the " Hardware" tab, click " Device Manager"
5. Under " Imaging devices", locate your scanner (mine was marked with a yellow question mark (?)
6. Right-click and select " Update driver"
7. Now, INSTALL FROM A SPECIFIC LOCATION
8. Select your temp directory and locate the WinXP directory
The driver should now FINALLY work as intended. I would really appreciate your feedback (positive or negative) on this one... Email: floyd@atc.no
