MY scanner and game controller won't work, why?

Hello, I need information on how to get my Dexxa 4800 Scanner to work on Windows XP, Also my Swider Winder Game Pad Pro won't work either. Could someone tell me how to get the drivers for them, or send them to me.

Sorry guy, time to upgrade. Dexxa's 4800 scanner doesn't even have Windows 2000 support.
 
There are drivers for the scanner located here:
 
http://www.driverzone.com/drivers/dexxa
 
However, if you install any of these, it's HIGHLY LIKELY your Windows XP will NOT boot. In other words, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND AGAINST loading any of those drivers.
 
Run down to WalMart and put down $49.95 on a new scanner, man.
 
As for the Sidewinder... support for Microsoft's joysticks and gaming controllers are built into Windows XP... but they must be set up in control panel.

Yep he's absolutely right. This time buy a quality scanner so there will be drivers for future OS's. Try something by Epson, HP, Umax, or Visioneer. Epsons have the best image quality and Visioneer has the best software integration. However Visoneer scanners have really crappy drivers.
