1200UB_Scanner_XP_Install_Instructions.txt Driver File Contents (Working_1200UB_XP_Driver.zip)

After downloading all manner of drivers for the 1200UB (which didn't work)
I cobbled this together and it works.

What it does is install the Win2000 drivers on XP by altering the registry

1/ Unzip the files into a directory you can remember.

2/ Click "fixwinxp.exe" (this alters the XP registry to Win2k).

3/ Select your installation language.

4/ Click on the OK button on the "dialog box" that appears.

5/ In the next window "please choose the Windows 2000 driver" Navigate to the folder you unzipped your files into.

6/ Select "web.EXE"

7/ Choose your installation Language.

8/ Reboot after installation this is important as the "fixwinxp.exe" program needs to "re-set" the registry to XP from Win2000.

If you run a virusguard or spyware tool (Adwatch in particular) it may warn you about attempted registry alterations,
 you have to accept the changes or the driver install will fail.


Have fun
