[pchelpers] Parallel Port

My brother was using an older Microtek flatbed scanner (ScanMaker V310) 
with a pci parallel port under Windows 98se.  Now he has installed XPPro 
and it will not recognize the port.  The scanner does have XP drivers 
provided by Microtek, but he says the port came with NO software from Best 
Buy 2 yrs. ago.  XP finds it - but says it cannot install because it cannot 
find the software.  Device Mgr. shows a yellow exclamation mark beside it 
and of course the scanner can't possibly work till the port does.  A phone 
call to Best Buy was not helpful.  Any suggestions?

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
