Hi,

Here is the one I believe that will work, for testing many machines, as I
have.

Thanks all who wrote to me.  The winner will pick their 2200 Business
printer next week when I have confirmed the below.



Here is his solution:



Take a bare bones machine with USB support



Partition the Hard drive into three drives, C and D and E



Place Win 95 (USB supported) and Win 98 CAB files on E



Install Boot Magic on E



Install Win 95 with USB support on C and Win 98 on D; minimum installations
then



Xcopy the installations to sub directories on E



Install Scanner software on say C or D



The scanners always work on the first installation



When the installations stop working



Uninstall the software and delete the Windows directory in C or D



Xcopy the correct installation back to C or D as required



And start again
