xper Posted October 29, 2001 Posted October 29, 2001 If you have a piece of software that refuses to install because it says that you are not running Windows 2000 (such as the Win2K drivers for a Mustek scanner!!) you can simply edit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/WindowsNT/CurrentVersion/ProductName to say Microsoft Windows 2000 instead of XP and it will install. You may also have to edit the version number or build number, depending on how hard the program tries to verify that you are installing on the correct OS. I had to do this for my Mustek 600 CP scanner (compatibility mode didn't help!!!) and it worked great, so I now have my scanner working with XP (and a tech at Mustek can now eat his words). Good night
prosys Posted October 31, 2001 Author Posted October 31, 2001 that's not the problem... it says that the specified port is unknown..

Now they're installed and working fine:spaced Thanks again for suggestion Xper
Big Booger Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 I dont have your canon printer, but I did have a canon that was not supported and what I did was installed the 98 drivers, accepting they were not XP certified. I then right clicked on the printer device and told it to run the printer in compatibility mode. It worked. Now I can use that old printer on my XP machine. Give it a go, tell us what your results are. If that does not work, you have two optionsA. NEW PRINTERB. DUAL BOOTGOOD LUCKBig Booger
