I too have a Microtek Scanner which we use for mostly copies. Just put your original in the scanner an hit the copy button. Great for scanning photos, sending to E-mail, OCR, etc. Now the bad news. We purchased new computers with Vista and the only thing that does not work on the Vista is the Microtek Scanner. I sent off to Microtek and they said they do not intend to provide update drivers for the Vista. Orginally I was going to go back to XP but now after a month I am getting good at the new Vista and it runs every one of my programs, printer, etc. So I am getting a HP All in One wireless which my son has and he said it does everything except wash the car.
