santner Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 This morning I set my windows key to start the konsole through the keyboard shortcuts menu in KDE. This is the best thing that windows has ever done for me!!! My windows story for those interested(I'll give you the summarized version). Let me preface this by saying that the ONLY reason I use windows is for my scanner which has no linux driver(when I get some more time I plan on writing the code myself, and this is just the motivation I need). Due to numerous reinstalls(>5) something changed in the BIOS where the code on the Windows ME Reinstallation CD does not match the code in the BIOS, so now I can not reinstall the windows software that I paid for when I bought my computer!! Why Bill, why?????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crock Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 You might be able to do something about your latter problem by removing the CMOS battery and reinserting it, erasing the values stored for the BIOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santner Posted June 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 I read your message and gave it a go, but nothing. Something must have corrupted the bios to the point where it won't reset to the proper code to match the code in the bios. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Steve Scrimpshire Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Are you sure there's no Linux driver for your scanner? What model is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santner Posted June 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 It is a Microtek ScanMaker 4900. Here is what I am basing that on: http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver...el=4900&bus=usb If you know of any driver available, PLEASE let me know.
