It couldn't be something as simple as the Scanner needing a power supply independent of the USB could it, or are you already powering it from a "Wall Wart" or "Brick in a Rope" ? I have read the rest of your's and Ralph's conversation, I can't add anything there I'm afraid as Ralph will well understand ;-( Good luck Clive. -- Cheers Peter -- Next meeting: Dorchester, Tuesday 2010-01-05 20:00 Dorset LUG: http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.org&channel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset
