Hi Mistral,
did you only install the Colorado 9600 drivers or some other software, too?
I don't have any for the scanner for WinNT,
only some old win95 drivers are on my CD and some Win95 software that doesn't work with NT.
In Win95 there is a small symbol in the task tray (left of the clock) that says in Win95 "scanner is active" or "scanner not found" (depends on if the power is turned on or off....)
Bye!
