the other way around this is to search the cd for setup.exe. that should be somewhere on the disc, either in the route or if the scanner is a rather technical one, somewhere in a subdirctory of the cd rom. i have to do this for my scanner. _____ From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jamie Cuthbertson Sent: 21 October 2008 20:23 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: Installing scanner software. Sue, It is possible that the scanner software has a graphical splash screen to start the installation from. In this case Jaws may well not work at this point. However, you may find that, if you can get a minute or two of sighted help, that the scanner will still work OK after getting past this point and completing the installation. It's worth a try at least.

Hi. I'm using the latest version of Jaws with Vista. I'm trying to install my scanning software. It's for a cannon scanner and I'm having some difficulty. I put the CD into the drive. It spins as normal. I select run set up. The CD stops spinning and then nothing happens after that. Jaws doesn't say anything so I'm wondering where to go from here. Please can anyone tell me what to try next? I've tried tabbing round to a next button but there's nothing there. I'd be grateful for any help as I've recently changed my computer and I thought that putting the scanning software on my new machine would be a doddle. Sue.
