Hi,

I just installed a friend's PC with XP, everything was fine (well, as fine as it could be with XP!) except having installed the scanner, we went on to install the digital camera which stopped the scanner from working. Anyway, to cut a long story short, if the scanner is disabled through Device Manager, the camera works and vice versa. So my question is - I would like to write a batch program which will disable and enable the scanner to save my friend having to go in and do this manually - does anyone know how I would go about doing this?

Thanks very much, Kate
