Try installing the WINASPI layer.  You can get it 
from the Adaptec website, assuming you have an 
Adaptec SCSI card.  If not, try finding an older 
version of WINASPI.  It's only the most recent 
version that checks the SCSI board ID.  It's a 
very simple, quick install.

Newer scanner drivers made especially for Win2K 
don't bother with this code layer.  But older 
drivers still need it.  This bucks the "conventional 
wisdom," I know...

I recently went through this same harangue with 
my own scanners on Win2K.  The two scanners 
purchased this year installed without a hitch.
The oldest scanner (2.5 yrs old) required WINASPI 
before it would work on Win2K.
