ok, what if the profile "PHOTO" doesnt appear?
ReplyDeleteTry changing your profile photo to another and check if it works
ReplyDeleteWHen I click to import my pictures from the scanner my device is not listed, although the scanner is installed. I have a Canon LIDE25 that works fine on it's own, but Vista itself says there is no scanner installed. Please help.
ReplyDeleteuninstall the scanner from the device manager disconnect the scanner from pc
ReplyDeleterestart your pc
connect scanner to rear end usb port
install the driver and check
This would be useful if HP's drivers worked. As it is, they don't recognize my all-in-one, and HP's supplied scanning software crops or breaks up scans in really weird ways.
ReplyDeletethanks a lot after a couple of hours searching for a solution this did work for me!!
