All the required software shows up and is in the user mode start menu, yet
when I try to scan something I get an error message stating that the scanner
is "un-plugged". The scanner is plugged in. After messing with it for hours,I
attemped to (just as a long shot) to see if it would work in admin mode.
Everything works as it should. A programmer freind of mine says its in the
securities and permissions and is probably the same problem with the CD
burner, yet I'm tired of waiting for him to help me fix it. I have just been
switching over to admin to use them. No big deal I'm just sure that I
shouldn't have to
