Sue,
On my PC today when I put the CD in JAWS said "CanoScan setup utility"
and nothing more. I did Alt + F4 to close this window, then went to My
Computer, found the CD drive and went to the ScanGear folder, then the
English subfolder and hit Enter on setupsg.exe. That unzipped a bunch of
files and then did ended. When I unplugged and replugged the scanner, I
got the new hardware added message and, after a few seconds, it had
found the unzipped driver and installed it. My scanner now works.
I'd be interested in knowing if this works for you too.
Steve

Sue,
I've come across this with the CanoScan LiDE range on Windows XP, and in
that case it was down to a purely graphic splash screen that JAWS just
didn't recognise. I thought I had written down the exact steps to work
out if this is what's happening and if so, how get past it but if so,
I've lost the notes! From my recollection, once the CD has spun up you
can cancel out of any dialogue offering a setup option, go into My
Computer and find the CD drive, and start the setup manually from there.
I'll try it on my PC at work later and get the path of the file you
need.
Steve

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.
Jamie

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.
