I spose if you had USB 2 there might not have been a problem though - the guy in the shop said it was the 1st one ever returned

USB2 is backward compatible, so it should work anyway.
What a line! "First one returned". Maybe they've only sold one?

you'd think t would be backwards compatible but ummm no this didnt seem to be was even something written in the bootklet had to be USB 2 :/ I kept getting errors it was trying to access for more of the usb or something that it was allowed to allocate?
It's a wonder they didn't try to sell you a new computer. Must be nice people down your way?
Sams is a sorta like warehouse type place low prices and just about everything isnt a specialist place - not sure if they have comps actually lol
Not quite...
Put simply, if the so-called USB2 device is not talking to a USB1.1 PC the device itself does not meet the basic USB standard. And that's what we discovered.How does USB 2.0 and 1.1 work together?
You may have heard that USB 2.0 is "backward-compatible" with USB 1.0/1.1 (Full-Speed USB). While that's true, USB 1.1 is also forward-compatible with USB 2.0. Whenever a system has USB 2.0 ports, you'll find the "Enhanced" USB controller in Device Manager, but you will also find two other USB controllers.
These two to mantain backward compatibility to USB 1.1 devices. Each USB 2.0 host actually has 3 chips onboard. The USB controller routes signals to the correct controller chip depending on how a device is recognized. Where a device is physically plugged in has no bearing on how it is routed. All ports on a USB 2.0 motherboard can host any USB devices at all as long as the system and devices are healthy. The vast majority of USB 2.0 devices will work on older PCs and Macs. None should flat-out fail unless there are other issues with the system. Hi-Speed USB devices will revert to Full-Speed operation when connected this way
Of course, Miaow could have bought a USB2 card for about $12 and rectified the problem but if the manufacturer of the device can't get this right, why bother.
Actually i had no idea you could get usb 2 cards I was thinking it would be something on newer comps lol hmm never know i way think of that for future
To put slides to disc is 75c each / $75 a 100 at the photo shop and you dont have to do the work
Well I'm going to try this again today getting another one now have USB 2 and a better comp - Hopefully this time it will work....
Good luck. Let's know what happens.
Well this scanners different than the one last week they had, smaller and less software and off course more expensive
But yeah managed to get it to work... need some help on how to fix them up though i think lol not sure if its the slide or the scaner as such
Hi Cat, another learning curve? Can you describe the results you're getting? Are you using maximum resolution?
was using 1800 dpi i think?
I mentioned it before and I'll mention it again: do yourself a favour and get your hands on some good scanning software. VueScan is really good - you tell it what film you use and how to scan it and it automatically corrects color based on the film. Works like a charm!
yeah might have to look at that jev but i have no idea on what she used?
Doesn't is say so on the film? Usually it's printed around the transportation holes. If not, you still can select from a "generic" category (at least in the crummy old version I have at home ). You can grab a trial here
Its slides im scanning Jev so have their carboard on them - hmm though some say kodacrome etc
Edited to add its suddenly stopped working ARGH says cant find it? looks like im gonna have to replace it
