Replace Microtek?
My Microtek scanner won't work with my new Windows XP computer. Microtek has
given me reams of instructions plus new drivers. Nothing works. I would like to replace it with a more reliable, simpler, more dependable flat bed scanner that can also scan negs. Any ideas? The MIcrotek worked well when it worked, I did my website on it..

Hmmm.
I'm still using my Scanmaker E6 - an old SCSI clunker that works well under XP. Your USB scanner should be fine. XP has it's own built-in scanner (twain) support and assuming scanwizard loaded OK, when it comes to aquiring and image from - say within Photoshop, select SCANWIZARD scanner as the source. Do not select Microtek or Scanmaker (or however else it's named). But I suppose you knew that anyway..... Other failures are usually associated with USB conflicts/drivers. In your BIOS settings do you have a setting to enable legacy USB (or v 1.00./1.1)? Do you have any USB speed adjustmemts in the BIOS? I'm researching an up-to-date scanner for myself, but am reluctant to loose Scanwizard- the best scanner software ever written. G.C. "Graham Crawford" wrote in message ... What model is it?

Consider a Microtek X12USL. It will scan 8.5 x 11 as well as transparencies
and negatives with the optional light lid. Their latest version of ScanWiz works well with Win XP. Have used mine for a couple of years with good results. "ArtKramr" wrote in message ...
