I have searched as to what these messages mean but I haven't been successful in finding any info on it.  Has anyone else who have tried to use their scanner under wine had the same error messages  and if so, what did you do to resolve it?

	Hello, 
	if your scanner really need this VxD, you won't be able to run it with
wine, since VxD aren't supported. Sometimes, NT drivers are different from
win 9x drivers, and don't use VxD. So running wine as NT and installing such a
driver could get around your problem.
