Anyone have any suggestions???

Visioneer makes pretty good scanners. I have an older 7600 USB model that you can't buy anymore. It makes excellent scans. The newer models are getting decent reviews, so you might check them out.

Make sure it is compatible with your OS.

Some aren't with ME.

Also, HP seems to be Over-Priced.

Get a UMAX. Really cheap. You can get one for $99 and it can scan at 1600X1200 dpi and at 36-bit color. Or, you can get a better UMAX for fifty dollars more and can even better quality scans and if you have a firewire port, you can take advantage of it.

One of my scanners is a Visioneer 7600 USB...doesn't work with winME, even with ME patch from scanner website.

Hey Keeper,

That's very strange! I'm running WinBlows ME and my Visioneer 7600-USB works just fine. Maybe you should remove and re-install the Visioneer driver.
