Scanner

[jimbob23]

An easy one compared to dirtybobby's load of old gibberish...

I have a scanner which is about 6 years old, and which works a treat with my old iMac, but I want to use it on the PC I bought last year.

However, when I try and install the drivers, I get this message that tells me they've not been tested for compatibility with Windows XP and the whole world will implode if I continue (or, it might say something less spectacular, like my computer will fall on its arse and never get up; I can't remember).

So, will it fook up me computer if I pay no heed to the warnings and install the software, or is it just an empty threat? OR should I contact Epson and ask them for some up-to-date drivers (I've tried downloading them off the Epson site in the hope that the drivers might be new, more compatible ones than on the CD, but no joy)?

I really can't be bothered to buy a new scanner.

Discuss.

If the world implodes it's your fault.

Lol, it's just Microsoft. Basically, any driver that the company didn't pay £10,000 to M$ to get approved will make Win XP come up with that message.
It won't break your PC, but it may well cause your TV to detune itself

Cool. No need to install it just yet anyway, because my fool of a mate, who was supposed to be supplying me with a 100% legitmate copy of Adobe CS2, forgot to include Photoshop, so I'll be sticking to scanning images into and using PS 5.5 on my shitty old i-Mac for the mo anyway.

When the time comes I shall install the scanner software on my PC with the gay abandon mentioned by DirtyBobby.
