    Unplug the scanner from the PC.
    Remove the software that came with it (uninstall)

    Reboot.
    Go to epson's website and downlod the software/drivers from there. Re-install.

    Then try again.

    Left out an important step
    *Only plug the scanner in when you are told to. NEVER before you run the driver setup
