I'm guessing that your system might be seeing your scanner as a SCSI or pseudo
SCSI device (like my old Agfa Snapscan 310 connected via the parallel port).
Make sure your scanner is turned "ON" before booting your computer.
Occasionally on my Win98SE system, I have to go into Control Panel, System,
Device Manager and open the SCSI controllers section, highlight the line for the
scanner (Agfa miniport SCSI) and click "Refresh", and then close the dialog
boxes.  Works for me.
