Sounds to me like you have an interrupt conflict somewhere....
This used to happen to me when I had both my modem and my scanner sharing
the
same interrupt. If I used the modem, it would turn on the scanner.

Well, it's always worth checking one last time--its just that this system
has been so well documented in its IRQs, DMS, Port addresses, etc. to
avoid such things that it seems unlikely--but I'll check it again, anyway.
The scanner card can optionally use an IRQ & DMA but none are required by
the software I'm using for successful operation. I haven't seen the docs
for the scanner in eons... not since '89?--I think.
