I have a HP 5200C Scanner running on Win 98 .  Lately , ever time I try to use it , I get an  error message . " Cannot access Scanner .  Your Scanner is currently being accessed by another
application . Blah , Blah "    
   I have tried uninstalling the software and reinstalling and it worked once . Any ideas on how to figure out what is going on here ?

Here is why it is happening and you are not going to like it.

- Windows 98
- HP

Reinstall on another login and see if that works after a restart.

remove the hub and everything else...check if it works then on its own
If it does you have a conflict

all the more reason to try a DIFFERENT usb port...   if it doesn't work in another port you either have a software problem or your scanner is screwed up.  scanners are cheap, replacing it will be a blessing if thats the problem

usb ports do go bad
