Unplug the scanner and remove the drivers. Then install the scanner
software and do not plug the scanner in to the computer's USB port until
prompted to do so.

If this doesn't work, let us know what make and model scanner you have so
that we can look to see if there are specific instructions for your
particular scanner.
