    I've just installed an Iwill SCSI-card to get my scanner to work!!! Trouble is the computer don't find the scanner and the sound just went off! HP was very kind and sent me the information they had about installing scanjet to an existing SCSI-card, but Iwill has no support to that card any longer so here I am! (I've tried to contact them but they wont answer.) You can do a lot of changes by pressing Ctrl+A when you start the computer but I would be grateful If someone could tell me how it should be to get the scanner to work and to get the sound back again. Some sounds "get through" but some don't. Sometimes when you put in a cd to play a game an error message comes up. It's something about a conflict (sound) and that the game won't work or work bad. I've run Dxdiag but there's everything OK. In the controllpanel - devices also everything is OK. I think i've tried everything but the computer still don't find my Scanjet. I formatted the disk and installed win98SE again but it didn't make any difference. I've got an Iwill SIDE-2936UW-E, the sound-card i SoundBlaster AWE64. I've also tried to update all the drivers but it didn't help.
    Please help me to figure this out, someone ought to know.....!

    Suggestion ...

    Hi ...and welcome to the board ...

    As luck would have it, I just recently inherited a Scanjet scanner also, and experienced similiar difficulties. Because SCSI cards grab the system before any boot device, they also get first pick of IRQ's and address space. If you look in device manager, I feel reasonably certain you will find conflicts between sound devices and the SCSI card. Most SCSI cards have jumpers to reset IRQ "S and such. Last but not least, the scanner I am using refused to work as anything but SCSI device zero (small switch located by the SCSI connectors on the back panel )

    Hope this helps ..

    cheers
