1. Don't write all uppercase and/or bold: it is intended as shouting.

Solution 1

There is no uninstall for WIA, it's part of Windows.

Uninstall and reinstall your scanner software.

Solution 2

Or (in Windows 7 at least) you could go to "Default Programs" in your start menu and select "Change Autoplay settings". At the bottom of that screen you find a section Devices where you can configure it as desired... otherwise follow Dave Kreskowiak's advice.

Good luck!
