Did I do anything wrong??

Microteks software here is most annoying.

I don't know which is the right order, but the scanner has to be plugged
in properly before/after installing the software (I'd guess after).
Otherwise it might be ignored.

Mine can't be used via an USB hub.

I have plugged and unplugged the scanner, rebooted the PC several
times, and even un-installed and re-installed the software, and still
I got the error !!!

I checked the scanner as well, no problem.

Oh well ... This is getting very very weird !!

Forgot to mention both my previous MicroTek scanners were scsi connected
using scsi ID 6 with active termination. I started out early with flatbed
scanners using the old printer port connection. Scsi seems to work best
both for connection, and, actual throughput without worry of interruption.
