I have a P4 2.4GHz laptop running XP Pro and Word 97. I also have a Canon 1220U USB scanner.

Everything seems to be running correctly (I shouldn't say that and tempt providence, should I?) except for one annoying omission.

The scanner works fine through its own software and through programs such as PSP and Photoshop. Word works fine except that it does not see the scanner. When I try to Insert a picture the scanner is not there.

How do I get Word to "see" the scanner and allow me directly to import a scan?
 
I have solved the problem. After several hours searching MS data base I hit on the correct search string and was informed that I needed to add MS Photo Editor to MS Office.

Everything OK now.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
