I can't get my Umax 2100U scanner to work with Windows.net 2003 server. I unplugged it and now every time I boot I get an error message that the service has failed to start, and this notice in the event log:

"The PV8630 WDM Device Driver service failed to start due to the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it."

I would like to either get it to work or get rid of the annoying error message; this service is not listed in the services list so it is hidden somewhere, I'd like to disable the error message until I can get the driver problem fixed.


Thanks for any help.

You have to enable the windows imaging service.

[edg]

That service is already enabled but it did not solve the problem.

Have you tried posting in microsoft.private.windows.netserver.general newsgroup?

[adamvjackson]

What build/release of Windows Server 2003 do you have?

[edg]

I have the most recent build, 3718.

Agreed. Post in the private newgroup.

The microsoft.private.windows.netserver.general newgroup has tons of postings about scanners not working, I really don't think it's a driver issue, to be honest. Also, while I'm on that rant, you shouldn't use a server OS as a home OS; That's why unnecessary services, such as the Windows Imaging Service, Windows Audio Service, DirectX acceleration are disabled in Windows Server 2003.

However, on the chance that a bug is present, that's why I recommended to the original poster to follow up thru the proper channels; IE, the private newsgroup.
