Hi Sandi, Well, I'm certainly no expert, especially with running things under win 98 as it's been a long time now.
After you installed activesync were you able to successfully connect to the bn? If not, it may be that the actual install process is not complete. You didn't mention whether your scanner is connected via serial cable, scsi card or whatever. Also, if you are using something like Kurzweil K1000 or openbook, there should be an option within that program to select the particular scanner you want to use. Does your scanner, or any scanner for that matter, show up there? If you haven't allowed activesync to find and connect to your bn, I'd really suggest doing that. Once that's done, you could go into the activesync connection settings and unchedk things such as infrared, usb, and whatever else doesn't apply to your situation. If you are able to get activesync operating properly with your bn and you still have the scanner not found problem, maybe trying an uninstall of activesync would be worth a shot. I've never had a problem with activesync myself and I use it on an xp home system and have used in with my old win98 systems, but, as I said earlier, it's been quite a while since I had win98. Also, if you do uninstalls and/or installs, it's really a good idea to reboot the pc before you panic. I've seen a lot of really strange looking errors when I forget to do that myself, so just a suggestion. Hopefully this will be of some help.

But now my computer is showing that I don't have a scanner hooked up to it. I have checked all the connections uninstalled and re-instlled the sdanning software. I am wondering if anyone else ever had a problem after installing activesync. I also am thinking about uninstalling active sync and see what happens. Any thoughts from the experts. Sandi
