how do you install hardware that doesn't pass the windows xp logo testing? - macgyver i have a scanner the model in a canon canoscan fb 620u and when i hooked it up to the usb port it didn't reconize it at all (maybe because it was originally designed for windows 98) i'll explain why i don't want a new scanner later and then i tried to install the drivers and it went well (i had to put all the driver files on a floppy suprisingly i still have some that work) so the new hardware insrall wizard could locate them easily but after it found them and it was just about to start installing a pronpt window came up saying the it cannot install these drivers because it didn't pass the windows xp logo testing then i picked continue anyway but after it seemed finished it sayed that hardware was unable to install because of the problem mentioned earlier, is there a way to surpase the system so winows 198 hardware can be installed on windows xp (even on vista) computers i don't plan on buying a new scanner. and i know this scanner works on xp i seen it happen before my comp crashed

Best Answer: I suspect a driver compatible with your OS has not been created for your scanner and being an older scanner their may not be a driver created. As a possible alternative I would suggest you try a Generic Scanner Driver as follows. VueScan Generic Scanner Software URL: http://www.hamrick.com/ I Hope this Helps! - David M

You can download the drivers for it here: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=351&modelid=8006 - dman_1092
