Summary: Useless Umax support
Review: This scanner worked fine under windows 98. It does NOT work properly with any later operating system from Microsoft. Umax support is non-existant. They want you to pay for driver updates, and then the driver updates still don't work. They say Windows built-in scanning capabilities are supported, they aren't. Stay away from this scanner, far away.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Very annoying machine
Review: Used to work ok in win 98 but when I upgraded to XP it's nearly useless (considering how expensive it is!)

It only works if you unplug the transparency cover and UMAX won't upgrade the drivers for XP. I bought it for slides and it wasn;t even great at those - bad colour reproduction. I have to fix almost every image with photophop.

I advsise against this and will not be buying any more umax products.

Summary: Requires new driver for XP
Review: Worked well with Windows 98, though a bit slow on my old AMD K6 2-233 clunker. Copy and Print buttons on scanner are nice features.

Tried to move scanner to new Windows XP box. Found I need to purchase (cannot download) VistaScan 3.55 or something-rather for $9, and download an XP driver. See UMAX site for more info. Maybe it is just time for me to upgrade to a better scanner.
