...Well I seem to have figured some of this out. First of all, I remove all my
USB devices and rebooted and Windows found the scanner again and it's fine
now.

Also, using a wizard I found at the microsoft site and walked through it and
found that the shut-down problem was caused by my dial up adapter. I removed
it and now Windows shuts down normally. I am on cable so I only need my
ethernet adapter. I assume I will need the dial-up adapter to send a fax
via modem right? If so I guess I'll have to add it then?...not sure about
that. one.
Only bug now seems to be that OE and IE 5.5 takes a very long time to
load....man if it's not one thing it's another🙂) It loaded like lightening
just after I reinstalled everything...????
Btw I have an Asus P2-99B motherboard with a 440ZX chipset.
Thanks for any help!

perhaps the reason why they load so slow is cause they are looking to connect via dail up. its just a thought, try reinstalling the two progs.

Thanks for replying. I tried reinstalling everything but it didn't help. Then I found an article on Microsoft's site that described my problem exactly and I replaced the Pstore files in OE and now everything's fine.

Gary, most faxing software that I have worked with don't require a Dial Up Adapter for the modem.

You simply have to have the modem installed. The faxing software itself will provide the dial up setup.
