One option you might consider is (if this is possible) to run a duel boot system with Ubuntu or some other Linux distro on your computer. According to this site, your scanner is supported by Ubuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=128704 -- John Corliss BS206. Using News Proxy, I block all Google Groups posts due to Googlespam, and as many posts from anonymous remailers (like x-privat.org for eg.) as possible due to forgeries posted through them. No ad, cd, commercial, cripple, demo, nag, share, spy, time-limited, trial or web wares OR warez for me, please.

You might want to try a VM solution...install XP into Virtualbox, then try to setup your scanner. According to the wiki, it supports USB devices. Adam |
