I had been using Umax Astra scanner since a long time. Currently I am using Microsoft Windows XP on my desktop system. After say a month I wanted to scan a document for my personal use and store it as a soft copy on my system. When I turn on my scanner it asks me to install the drivers for my scanner in order to use it. For this purpose I was unable to get the CD I got along with the scanner when I had bought it. Is there anyway where I will be able to use my scanner? Please help!!

Try downloading the driver from your vendor support website. For this you will just need to type your vendor name along with support and you will get a website from it. Go to the website type your model number. Now check for the latest driver for your scanner and download it. Care should be taken while downloading it from the website that it should support the operating system installed onto your system and be compatible with it. Or else I would not run and your scanner would not run either.
