Driver for Microtek Scanmaker 3600
I am looking for driver for Microtek Scanmaker 3600.
The original CD that comes with it is missing, so I went to Microtek's ftp site - ftp://ftp.microtek.com/microtek/pcfiles/ - looking for one. I remember that the driver for Scanmaker 3600 has the name of drv_sw5** (stand for Scan Wizard 5) so I was elated to find drv_sw5_v5_991_ad.exe among the files available. However, under the same directory I also notice the "Scan Wizard Pro" are there as well. Question: Can the "Scan Wizard Pro" software be used for my Microtek Scanmaker 3600 scanner? BTW, the latest version of Scan Wizard Pro is version 7.04 --- drv_swpro_v7_04_ad.exe |

Other than installing that, I've never had to install any other software for either for operation. Both worked in XP and Millenium. Last version I downloaded was 6.01 Pro version from the microtek website 2 years ago. Better look here for latest Pro version and supported scanners: http://www.download.com/Microtek-Sca...8_4-38388.html Dave |

Thank you and thank all for your help !!
I have downloaded the Scan Wizard 5 version 6.32, dated Oct, 05, 2007 and have installed it on my PC. Then something really weird happened. I hooked up everything, and "Scanner Finder" could found the scanner without any problem, with the "Scanmaker 3600: STI, ID 0" message. However, when I call up the "Microtek Scanner Configuration", I got the error message: "The scanner is not ready! Please check the scanner connection." When I launch the SW5 software, I got the following message: "Can't find scanners. Use scanner probe to find a scanner." And when I click on the "Yes" button, I got a "Scanner list", with the ID "0" for Scanmaker 3600, Ver. 1.0 As far as the scanner goes, yes, IT IS THERE !! I even checked it in the device manager, and yes, IT IS THERE !! What I do not understand is this --- How come neither of the "scanner configuration" nor the "Scan Wizard 5" able to find the scanner? Did I do anything wrong?? Please help !! Thank you all again for your help !!! On Feb 10, 9:00*pm, "Lil' Dave" wrote: "pg" wrote in message ... I am looking for driver for Microtek Scanmaker 3600.

Windows has TWAIN and Linux has SANE as possible scanner interface standards. A SANE driver for your scanner was done some number of years ago, so it is possible that you could interface to the scanner with a Linux LiveCD and test it there. You'd use a program like GIMP (equivalent to Photoshop), and in File:Acquire there might be an option to scan from a SANE capable scanner. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TWAIN http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanner_Access_Now_Easy (SANE) I'm only mentioning that, if you run out of options in Windows to prove the device works. You can get Linux LiveCD distributions like Knoppix (knopper.net) or Ubuntu (ubuntu.com), which don't require installing anything to the hard drive, to use the Linux desktop. You boot from the CD, and are then running a Linux desktop. It is possible the scanner may be accessible there. At least then, you'd know whether to continue fighting with it in Windows. Based on my experience trying to get a webcam working in Linux, I'm not promising this will be easy. But it is another option... Like, if you're bored and have nothing better to do. Paul |

Maybe it's just a coincidence, but my nine year old Epson 1260 has also just stopped working. [XP Home, BTW.] However, it's still OK on a laptop using XP Professional.

If you sort the contents of C:\WINDOWS by date, then look for things like $NtUninstallKB2641690$ , the contents of those may contain things like .dll files that got replaced by recent Windows update. That may give a hint as to what has changed. Since you have a rough idea when the problem arose, you won't have to go back too far. You can also find some hints in Event viewer. Too bad the interface on that thing is so bad, as if it had a decent interface, it would be easier to find the offender. I scanned back through my updates, and don't see anything TWAIN related, but I also don't have a scanner connected. So maybe if something changed, it's an actual scanner driver that changed ? I've had one change in the behavior of my system recently, which was getting Explorer killed by DEP (data execution prevention). That's happened twice now. It may be related in some way, to a piece of software that's been installed for years, but I only started using it again a few weeks ago. And time wise, there is no relation to the Explorer problem, and usage of that program. That's the only strange thing of note on my WinXP Pro SP3 32 bit system here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_execution_prevention Paul |
