I don't see anything under Device Manager that looks like the scanner. The scanner connects to the computer through a USB port - would that explain why?
Is there any possible advantage to trying to uninstall from Safe Mode? No harm in trying, I guess - I'll give it a shot! Rebecca

Yes, if a USB device is turned off, it won't show up in the Device Manager, will come show up once turned on.

Thanks anyway, Charles and Paul! Rebecca

Even though my friend's parents assured me the scanner could be operated without the Smart Panel component, when I subsequently tried it, it did NOT work. I think I got a popup about the computer not being able to find the scanner or something - I wrote the message down somewhere, but can't put my hands on it at the moment.
I don't know when I'll get back to their computer (they live 13 hours away), but assuming they haven't gotten the problem professionally taken care of by then, I'll continue with this thread (or probably start a new one) at that time.
If anyone else has ever had a similar problem, and managed to come up with a solution, by all means, please email me with the information! Rebecca

Next if you have ---or have plugged it into a multi hub exstention port ---for some reason the epson scanners do not like it and will not function unless they are plugged into a main port that is connected directly to the computer . Once you have checked that then you can restart ---because the files probably got corrupt , but the uninstall won't unistall unless the scanner is plugged into the origional port when it and the software was origionally installed ( whew ) that was a mouthfull . Anyway --make sure of that ---then attempt to unistall ----once uninstalled ---unplug the scanner ---restart the puter. Reinstall the software , but do not plug in the scanner untill it asks you to ----or the install is complete( software) shut down the puter --plug the scanner into a base port , then restart the puter ----this should take care of any problems . I just went through all if this last week ---very frustration for something that should be so simple Good luck and post back if you have time .

Mine is a SCSI or USB. I don't like the Smart Panel. One less thing to mess up. maggie,#82005/03/09estherInactiveJoined:2005/03/08Messages:1Likes Received:0 copier compatibility printer

I had the exact problem with the scanner and smart panel. I went to the Epson site and downloaded the latest twain driver and all is well now. The software that came with the printer (cx6400) would not properly install the twain .
The number to download is 11199. Bill

Dussman - You are the miracle worker. I used your method and got my scanner up a running. What a bizzare series of steps. I wonder if Epson knows?
Thanks. dfitzmahan,#112005/03/23DussmanInactiveJoined:2002/03/27Messages:115Likes Received:0 Glad it helped!!!

I somehow missed the follow-ups on this thread until yesterday (too busy trying to figure things out other things on other computers!), but I've since passed your messages on to the couple who own the computer/scanner in question. They're in their 70s, and I don't think they're particularly thrilled at the prospect of trying anything themselves, but who knows? Otherwise I'll give it a shot for them the next time I'm down there.
For the record, I also received the following in a private message from someone here:
I don't know whether or not you have solved your "Epson smartpanel" problem yet, but I had the identical problem a couple of days ago (I have Win98SE) when I was trying to re-install my Epson 2400 scanner.
I eventually solved it by going into "regedit" and deleting all references to "Smartpanel" or "smapanel" in the registry. Actually, if your scanner is the ONLY Epson product you have, then just delete all entries for Epson. Once I did this it reinstalled perfectly.
Be EXTREMELY careful about doing this, ONLY delete references to smartpanel (or Epson) and if you are unsure, then don't delete. If the relevant reg entry mentions anything else apart from Smartpanel or Epson then think twice before deleting. Make a backup copy of EVERYTHING you delete and if it goes wrong then replace all the backed up reg entries and start again.
So it looks like there definitely ARE solutions to this problem.
Thanks again to all for their input! Rebecca
