"Touse with a pc upgraded from Windows 98 to XP, use the 'custom' install and take only the twain driver, THEN use the XP patch file '2xxxupdater' to get full functions of original vs 3.0, including 'power saver' to allow the scanner bulb to go off after periods of non-use... otherwise, if you use standard install of 3.55, power saver doesn't seem to be available."

"I would have to think that the people who did not get this driver to work for them didn't have a Astra 1220 usb model, or they didn't download the updater exe file to this driver. Although there are always exceptions when it comes to computers. I loaded this program onto my desktop closed my internet connection and then ran the file. Then I rebooted. For some reason th

"This driver works great, you can also download this driver along with the 2xxx file for free from the UMAX german site. Go to a translation engine such as babelfish.altavista.com and then go to www.umax.de/support/treiber.htm and choose the scanner from the list there. When you get to the download page, the page is in both German and English (at the bottom of the page).&

"Brilliant! I thought I'd lost the 1220U interface for good and would have to make do with the Windows XP weak substitute. Even Umax told me I'd have to buy a new scanner.

Once you have downloaded your new driver, you'll need to install it. In Windows, use a built-in utility called Device Manager, which allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them.

How to Open Device Manager

  3. Click the Update Driver button and follow the instructions.

In most cases, you will need to reboot your computer in order for the driver update to take effect.
