Note for Windows XP: This VistaScan version supports Windows 2000. There is no Windows XP VistaScan release. The following installation notes shows a way to use the Astra 1220P/2000P under Windows XP. This procedure was tested on various Windows XP workstations. It can't be guaranteed, that it works with all systems / configurations.
This is the only possible way to use the Astra 1220P/2000P under Windows XP.
If you encounter any connection problems try to set another parallel port (LPT) mode in the BIOS of the mainboard ( EPP 1.7 is recommended ). When there is a problem during build up of the desktop try to remove VistaAccess from the StartUp.
VistaScan 3.55P is provided on an "as is" basis. There is no support available for Windows XP.
