Failed to uninstall the device. The device may be required to boot up the computer.
I'm having problems with my scanner not being recognized in the software, even after restarting, so i decided to reinstall the driver.
I noticed i have an "Unknown device" under imaging devices as well as my scanner, that i can't uninstall.

Any way to get around this? I tried safe mode and it's the same.
Windows XP Pro SP2.

I take it you don't have the scanner plugged in? maybe it wont uninstall while its still plugged in :unsure:

Find the registry entries for the drivers and remove them.
Tricky business though.
Are there no alternative drivers you can get? 'cos if you can only get it to recognize the device(s) as one scanner, even if it's a generic driver, it will probably be uninstallable.

I did get it to work. I've had this problem before.
Was just wondering how I can remove that from device manager though 'cause it's kinda bugging me. :P
