Thank you and thank all for your help !!

I have downloaded the Scan Wizard 5 version 6.32, dated Oct, 05, 2007
and have installed it on my PC.

Then something really weird happened.

I hooked up everything, and "Scanner Finder" could found the scanner
without any problem, with the "Scanmaker 3600: STI, ID 0" message.

However, when I call up the "Microtek Scanner Configuration", I got
the error message:

"The scanner is not ready! Please check the scanner connection."

When I launch the SW5 software, I got the following message:

"Can't find scanners.
Use scanner probe to find a scanner."

And when I click on the "Yes" button, I got a "Scanner list", with the
ID "0" for Scanmaker 3600, Ver. 1.0

As far as the scanner goes, yes, IT IS THERE !!

I even checked it in the device manager, and yes, IT IS THERE !!

What I do not understand is this ---

How come neither of the "scanner configuration" nor the "Scan Wizard
5" able to find the scanner?

Did I do anything wrong??

Please help !!

Thank you all again for your help !!!
