I have to give a little background info in case it is needed to understand my 
situation.

About a month or so ago I had Windows 2000  and I used a Epson Perfection 1670 
scanner, which I still have and use. Also, I use my scanner mainly with 
Kurzweil 1000 version 9.

I upgraded to Windows XP Pro because my hard drive got corrupted somehow. My 
friend, who works on my computer, did a reinstall and that is when I upgraded 
to Win XP Pro. My scanner worked fine and I could still use Kurzweil. Though, 
when my friend did a reinstall he did not put the Epson Smart Panel in or 
anything else that was on the original disk. The only thing of Epson I had was 
in the Start menu which was, Epson Scan.

The other day my boyfriend wanted me to scan a picture for him and that is when 
we noticed that the picture wasn't coming up like it use to. I called my friend 
and that is when he told me it was probably because he forgot to install the 
Epson Smart Panel. 

So, thinking everything was fine today, I was going to scan some things in 
Kurzweil and the scanner would not move. The light was on near the buttons and 
the light on the scanner bar was on but the bar would not move. This could have 
been do to my boyfriend hitting some of the buttons on the front of the 
scanner. Again, I'll mention that after the install of XP the scanner worked 
fine and I could scan materials in Kurzweil. 

Well, I found my CD of Epson and installed everything. The scanner bar moves 
now which I suppose is good. It was a successful install as I was told on the 
screen. When I go to the Start menu now it has extra stuff of Epson but the 
Epson scan option does not open any more like it did. My biggest concern is 
thinking that the bar moved now I could use Kurzweil. I open Kurzweil and tried 
to scan several things that I have scanned in the past (like a test to see if 
it would work) and Kurzweil does not recognize that there are any pages. 

I'm not sure of what to do. I tried calling my friend a couple of times but he 
hasn't gotten back to me. 

Is there anything I could do or try? I did look in Kurzweil to make sure the 
scanner was listed and it was.

Thank you,
Melissa
