I have installed W2K-pro on my PC supporting SiS M/B and celeron CPU.I am unable to install my USB scanner(Umax Astra) as the OS says that the driver is not digitally signed by Microsoft. Fuirther,i am getting a "Notify_shellIcon error" everytime i boot. What does that mean ? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
have you checkd, that the scanner is on the windows 2000 hardware compatibility list? have you checked for a driver on the Umax website? normally, you can install a device even if windows 2000 says that the driver is not digitally sigend. all microsoft is saying there is that they take no responsibility.

Check the Devise signing level from your Administrative Tools snap in. If it is set to Deny unsigned drivers, change it to Warn (the MS default) you will be presented a message, but allowed to accept and install the driver.
Check the HCL from MSfor the scanner model as suggested as well as the UMAX site for updated drivers.
In additon, check the scanner software for 2000 compliance.

I am satisfied with the replies given. But nobody has clarified on the error message "Notify_shell_icon error" i get while booting.

I am satisfied with the replies given. Somehow i ahve succeeded in confoguring scanner and its working well. But nobody has clarified on the error message "Notify_shell_Iconfail" error i get while booting. Moreover i find(in the Device Manager) thatPCI Simple Communications Controller is not configured. Is it the reason that my internal modem and the second serial port to which it is attached is not recognised by Win2K ?
