Our support staff indicates that a number of users fail to install the USBSCAN.SYS which is a Windows Support File for USB products. This

file is contained in all versions of the Windows 98 installer CD.

At times the hardware install wizard does not indicate the correct location of this file and after a number of attempts to install this file has

failed, you may assume it is not required.

Here is a step by step method for obtaining the USBSCAN.SYS file from your Windows Installer CD. Please note that on some systems, your

vendor may provide a Windows Installer CD. If this is the case, you can sometimes find the Windows Installer located within your

Windows system directory in a folder called "Options".

If you do not have either a Windows 98/98SE installer CD or the Options folder, please contact your system supplier for assistance.
