Hello,
Latest CanoScan Lide 60 situation.
As I mentioned on the list yesterday, my Son ran the install CD for
me. Everything was working just fine for about 2 ours or so. Then
suddenly after I rebooted the computer the scanner just kept trying
to activate and we kept getting an error 117 and the driver closed.
We followed the steps--
Re connecting the USB cable to a different port.
Reinstalling the drivers.
Nothing still helped.
Then my Son installed the CanoScan Lide 60 on his XP Pro machine and
the scanner still didn't work.
Guess what! It's going back.
Case is closed as far as I am concerned.
Thanks to everyone on the list for all the help.
I truly hope someone else has better luck. When the scanner did work,
it did one heck of a good job.
Oh well, that's the breaks.

Cheryl;
I think I may have found the problem. I found a set of Preferences
in the Library/Preferences directory I didn't write so here is
another try at the installer. Sorry for all the trouble. It's
worked well for me. I have posted the new installer to the
following URL: http://w3.wmcnet.org/tmp/CanonLiDE60.zip

Hello all.
thought I'd warn people on this list who might not be subscribed
to the discuss list that you should probably not rush out to buy
the canoscan lide 60 unless you have both a display and sighted
help. However wonderful it may be once you get it installed, the
setup program on the cd is totally and disastrously vo-
incompatible; all one sees is a window that says setup, with only
little beeps when one tries to use vokeys in the window. It is
possible to install individual apps one at a time but there
doesn't seem to be a way to install the drivers without the setup
program and apparently there is a certain order in which things
need to be installed. Greg kindly rushed to make aninstaller and
sent it to me to try; one other person on the Discuss list also
tried it; it appears to install the drivers and the toolbox but
when one plugs in the scanner or opens the toolbox app one gets a
message saying that a file may be missing or dammaged or settings
may be incorrect and to reinstall the scanner drivers and then the
driver is closed. The other person on the Discuss list who tried
greg's installer finally was able to install from the cd that
comes with the scanner by having a sighted person do it;
apparently it's very simple as one just checks the apps to be
installed and the program does it. Apparently also it does a good
job of scanning. But at least at this point, don't bother buying
it unless you have access to a monitor and sighted help. will let
you all know if there are further developments.
