My scanner won't work!

I don't know what's wrong with my scanner! I had to move my desk last week because there was a very annoying leak right above my computer. (Of course the mysterious leak stops when the guy who takes care of the building showed up.) So I had unplugged everything and hooked it back up - but I can't get the scanner to function. I probably need to reinstall the software, which is on CD - and of course my CD drive is broken!
Not having much luck! :) I'll have to find some other things to post in the meantime!
