I have an Acer parallel port scanner and followed the instructions in the info sheet with Mirascan, to install the EPPSCSNNER driver off the XP list. I received a warning message back telling me this driver is "NOT DIGITALLY SIGNED" and could make my computer unstable. Acer instructions tells me to "continue" and ignor the warning. My computer is now unstable and reboots when I try to use the scanner. Why would Microsoft include an uncertified EPPSCANNER driver in the XP package. I have installed all the updates to XP including SP-1 & SP-2. I wonder if I just have an old EPPSCANNER driver in my XP?
