98SE

I've just upgraded to XP. As I'm finding it impossible to get drivers for
my scanner I wonder if I can go back to 98SE.

If I install it from the original disk will I be able to get the MS Updates
up to the point where MS stopped supporting this OS?

Thank you

What's the manufacturer/make/model of the scanner?

To go back to win98
you need to backup your data...
erase the drive and reinstall win98

I think I'd just get a new scanner...

otherwise...create two partitions

install win98 on one
and XP on the other and dual boot

But will I be able to get the Windows Update downloads up to the point where
MS stopped supporting 98SE?

Thanks

Epson Perfection 1200Photo (same as 1200U or 1200S).

There is a driver in their page but it does not work with XP SP2, and I've
surfed the Net without much joy.


Thanks for your help

For now, yes. They are all still available.

An alternative is the UNOFFICIAL Windows98 Second Edition Service Pack
2.1a at:

http://exuberant.ms11.net/98sesp.html

Has anybody used this "Unofficial" service pack 2.1a ?

Good, bad, etc.....

Microsoft still has the win98 updates...
you just need to install IE6 first

Try any one of these:

Did you try this?

I don't use the Epson scanning software. I just use the Twain with my Graphics programs for
scanning.
