Kadin,
I had the exact problem you had concerning "Epson Perfection 4490 PHOTO scanner".
With the scanner on, connected to your computer, and with the CD/Driver (which was included) inserted into the CD-drive... do the following.
In WIN XP Sp3 click:
> Start
> Settings
> Control Panel
> Add Remove Programs
Look for EPSON Scanner:
> Click Change/Remove
RESTART COMPUTER.
Computer screen will show "FOUND NEW HARDWARE".
Follow the steps slowly and carefully being sure you instructed your PC to FIND SOFTWARE from DISC.
After PC is done copying files to HDD (Hard Disc Drive), your hardware (EPSON Scanner) will be installed and ready to run.
All of these steps were done once and... I'm back in business!
