I use Vista and Microsoft did not program Vista to recognize the drivers. I researched this problem on the internet and evidently I am not alone with this problem. No matter what I've tried - including downloading new drivers - Vista refuses to recognize it. My husband tried loading it on an older laptop that uses XP and, while it will recognize the drivers, the pictures are completely scrambled. It is going back. No wonder everyone is offering it so cheap! The old saying, "you get what you paid for" is sooo true. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Worked great until...it didn't By Sus When I first got this I scanned hundreds of pics of my grandmother from her youth upon her death at age 95. The pictures came out amazing. The device was light and connected to the usb port. I had to load pics onto trays which was pretty easy and gave me something to do while waiting for the scan. The photo editing software that came with it (photo impressions) did a nice job of general fixes. It is portable, lightweight and doesnt need a power source That said, I hadn't used it for a few months and took it out, plugged it in...and my computer will not recognize it.. I have tried everything! In searching the net it seems others have had this problem too..except there is no place to go for support for this product! And it looks like Hammacher Schlemmer has stopped selling it. This product did a greast job, basically taking a digital shot of pic under controlled lighting instead of scanning. It created reasonably sized great quality digital jpegs. Except now after only one year, it is nothing but an empty box :( 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Poor Quality By Laura Waszczuk The pictures are of very poor quality - save your money! My HP scanner/printer makes a far better digital copy of my old photos. The only positive thing I can say about this converter - it's fast. So you can choose, fast but poor quality or slow but excellent quality. I'll take my time and get it done right.
