I had the exact problem, with the exact Visioneer scanner as well. I gave up on it, and just threw it away- the repair said it's cheaper to get a new one, than to fix it. :o

I've got one thing to say - ditch your scanner and get a Hewlett Packard instead. At least it ACTUALLY scans. ;)

Yah, figures. Well I am not wasting that money I spent on it. I am going to atleast TRY and get my money back. If I get another one it will be a Hewlett Packard too.:mad:

No, I don't, I have a really chunky model from 2000 - lemme see if I can find the picture. It sucks because it has no easy access buttons, I have to start it via Start > Programs. :mad:

That's the kind I have, except it doesn't have the pretty blue in the front...it works pretty good. :)
