Help With Ancient Scanner
Hello. I have been running a very old (circa 1995) scanner through my windows XP without its original software installed, because XP does not support it. I was set up by a windows techy to run this with drivers included in XP, but out of the blue, my scanner connection has since disappeared and it no longer is listed in my 'Scanners and cameras" file. How do I re-do this process. Is it called WIA or something? (I should just suck it up and buy a new one, right?)THANK YOU. ANY INSIGHT WOULD HELP!

I am siding with xgerryx. The price of scanners has dropped like a rock and the quality has improved greatly. They also give you the ability to scan slides and negatives and work quite well in that regard. Yadda, yadda yadda. Just do it.
