Turn off the scanner and install the Transparency Unit. My scanner is in the other room, so I can't run through it again at the moment, so will have to trust my memory.ġ. Thanks!My system is a win 10 64 bit, my scanner is a Perfection 1200U Photo, and I did have to learn a few things to get negative scanning to work. Photos are a zip, but when I attempt to scan a negative, the lid light switches off and I wind up with a lovely scan of the underside of the lid. Thanks for the info - This also works with my Win 7, 64 bit system. My MD player has optical output which feeds into a Studio quality sound system which is why I still use this hardware at times - the Audio CD is actually an ISO mounted as an audio CD. Here's an XP VM machine of mine running legacy hardware - this one is still running a Minidisc player / recorder - even today it works a treat. You don't need to connect the VM to the Internet if you are paranoid about security.

If you have a W7 or XP system (or the install disks) just install a Virtual Machine - you don't need all the bells and whistles - just install base OS and the VMWare tools / VBOX additions depending on what you use to get the video drivers working 100%, connect your device to the VM via usually its USB port and install the hardware / software driver on the Virtual machine - done - working scanner.

A lot of the modern 'All in one' Printer / scanner / fax machines while they basically work aren't really sufficient for great quality work. I prefer Free software where possible so I've opted for the XP Virtual Machine which works a treat - however in this case VUESCAN really does work and saves all sorts of messing around - plus it keeps some perfectly good excellent scanners - especially good photo quality ones alive these days.
