I even tried it a second time with a completely clean install of the XP guest. I installed XP, did nothing except do all the Windows Updates that came automatically (which include SP3) and then I couldn't install my scanner. The third time I installed the XP guest and almost immediately after installation (and certainly before a lot of Windows Updates) I installed the scanner with no problem and it has continued to work as I had added other stuff and Windows Updates. -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
