It still seems to be working, making noises when I turn it on, but none of my computers can find it. It was hooked up to my small laptop, scanning away happily for months. Then it started to get erratic, changing the scanning dimensions and profiles and blinking on and off. I tried changing the cable, which usually seems to be the problem, but 4 new cables have not solved the problem. I still get a "no scanner found" message no matter which program I use - Silverfast, Nikon Scan or Vuescan. Has anybody else had this problem. I'm pretty sure there must be a short in the connection where I plug the cable in. I can't figure out any other reason why it would come on and work but not be seen by the computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, I've gone to get my Beseler Slide Duplicator and installed it in my office at the farm for trying the in-camera scans, but the bulb is burned out so I have to wait until I get a new one. Life is so complicated. Tina -- Tina Manley, ASMP www.tinamanley.com
