I have asked this on alt.comp.periphs.scanners and
comp.periphs.scanners, with no joy. A Google search on the error message
fins a couple of other sufferers, but no solution :-(

I have just upgraded from WN 98SE to Win2K Pro.

I have an HP ScanJet 4200C scanner.

I have visited the HP website, and downloaded the Win2K drivers for the
scanner <sj655en.exe>

I have installed the software and my machine recognises the scanner
under device manager".

When I boot my machine, the scanner heads move. The power light is on.

When I try to run the software, I get the error "No scanning sources
were found. Reinstall the scanning software. [2138]", and the software
aborts. Needless to say, reinstalling the software, and the device, make
no difference.

What can I do to fix this?

The downloaded software has unzipped to C:\sj655. That contains

        hpupdate.exe
        hplampc.exe
        checkhw.exe

what are these for? Why aren't they run by setup.exe - or are they? They
don't seem to be referred to in the included documentation.

C:\sj655 includes a sub-directory, "English", which also includes a
setup.exe - what's that about?

Why is this so bloody difficult?? :-(
