Ok, I tried running through my vmware setup to see if I could use my scanner; I can�t. I can�t even see my usb devices. This isn�t a problem for me since I can use a shared folder. However, I tried looking through the link I sent you and found that vmware looks for the scanner in /proc/bus/usb. I looked in that dir on my system and found nothing there; yet my scanner still works. My next thought was �ok, where is it?� I looked around and didn�t find anything that I thought would work. That�s really a moot point though, since in reading the vmware docs, they say that you can modify the path by going to �edit > virtual machine settings > USB� and changing the path in �Path to usbdevfs� field. That wasn�t available on my setup. I would suggest at this point that maybe you start bugging vmware people and asking where this setting is if it really exists and maybe someone else could enlighten us on where �Path to usbdevfs� exists on mdk? -- Michael Holt Snohomish, WA (o_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] (o_ (o_ //\ www.holt-tech.net (/)_ (/)_ V_/_ www.mandrake.com ============================================================<
