MS POS: Cannot modify register hardware settings

Aug 10, 2008 3 Replies

Our bar code scanner stopped working In MS POS today. The scanner works in the rest of windows - just not in POS. so it must have something to do with the OPOS. The MS POS \Registers settings are always unavailable in MS POS, so I can't think of a way to fix this.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

what type of a scanner is it. if it usb or ps/2 then you should not have to use opos drivers. if you re using a serial scanner (rs232) then yes.

It is a USB scanner. ...and it is still not working. Is there not a way to have MS POS 're-look' for hardware, bucause it's lost my scanner.

I appreciate your response.

unplugg the scanner restart pc. shutdown pc. plug the scanner in start pc. go to pos-manager under setting-registers do not select any scanners you should only have the printers and pole displays if you have any.

make sure the scanner works properly before you do this
