KT7 USB Problems

[WisAsh]

I've posted many messages various french forums and US newsgroups but nobody seems to have a solution for my USB problem...
I have an Agfa1212U scanner and it doesn't seem to work on my KT7. There is
no problem with the scanner because it works with other PCs... I've tested all 4 USB ports, installed all newest Via drivers (4in1, USB driver Filter), the new KT7 bios, Ms Win98se patch concerning USB, and scanwise v1.4 but the problem is still there : the scanner begins to preview the document then stops for a reason i don't understand...Sometimes, scanwise even crash during the launch of the application... I've also reinstall Win98se but the problem remains.
People recommend me to avoid putting any cards in PCI slots 4 and 6, what I did... I've moved my NIC in Slot 5 and the USB IRQ is not shared anymore, unfortunatly it doesn't solve the problem....
I've read about the same problem with USB Printer, so I decided to install my Epson 740 printer with USB connection instead of the parallel cable I usually use to test it... The result is that my printer driver crash when I want to print...
Does anyone can help me with this mysterious USB problem ???

Thanks.

All I can say is, "Good luck". I have the EXACT same problems with my USB Epson 740 and USB Umax Astra 2100U. Swapped cards around, removed them, etc. Never could them either printer or scanner to work correctly. Still trying, though. If I happen across a solution, I'll try to let you know.
