walaradu Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I used vLite on 32 bit Ultimate edition and the scanner won't work. I did not get rid of WIA. The service is running. However, I have nowhere to install scanners. It doesn't appear in control panel. I tried installing drivers from the CD that came with scanner. It gave an error during the install process. I did choose to get rid of the scanner drivers though. I'm not sure if that was the cause. The scanner is an HP c4280. It's actually an all-in-one. The printer works perfectly fine.

nuhi Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Try to keep the Application Experience and WMP Codecs (and maybe WMP if needed) and please let me know if it helps, especially if you eliminate one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walaradu Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 I got rid of AE and kept WMP and the codecs. I'm guessing that's the problem. I'll report back whether it worked in a few days when I get the time to reinstall it. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuhi Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Huh, ok, will check and report if I don't experience the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroc Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Huh, ok, will check and report if I don't experience the same.I might have figured it out...i ran some googles and ran across some of this talk:With Windows Vista, Microsoft replaced the functionality of the Scanner and Camera Wizard with the Windows Photo Gallery. The Windows Photo Gallery allows ...and i removed the photo gallery...will make a new vlite of ultimate and keep the gallery and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroc Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I found my issue with the 'Scanner and Camera'If you elect to remove the 'Windows Photo Gallery'....then you will lose the 'Scanners and Camera' Icon and Applet in the Control Panel...and won't be able to view your connected Scanners or Camera...or be able to add Devices.

walaradu Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 I kept Photo Gallery. I'm pretty sure I kept the Slide show thing too. Also, I do have Phones and Modems in my control panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 jroc, great, thanks for the info.walaradu, so you have the scanners and cams icon in the control panel and "just" scanner install fails is the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walaradu Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 I solved the problem. It turned out that I didn't have Photo Gallery. I had kept Photo Viewer. Now that I kept Photo Gallery, my scanner works now. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
