Driver issues reveal themselves in so many ways or through messages such as

A code 10 error may arise because the chip you are using is not an original one.

Below we will show you how to work your way around the problem.

Know USB Drive

This tiny driver utility quickly searches your system for connected hardware. It identifies many different connected devices and also includes hardware which has been marked as 'Unknown' in the device manager.

It gives you a little bit more information about a certain device so that you can find the proper drivers required to get it up and going in Windows.

Unfortunately when we tested an older scanner we thought was heading to the dustbin, it was configured that our old scanner would probably never work any newer version of Windows.

In short, this is a small tool which may help you figure out whether there are drivers available for your potentially outdated device.

Good luck!
