How often do you use your scanner? Not that often Josh, but enough to keep it. I might tie it in to an older laptop with Vista or an old XP from the office that is collecting dust. The problem is hiding those from my wife in the spare room............ :--)

I got lucky this time. (only two hours of screwing around) The uninstall and reinstall of the drivers and scanning program (Toolbox) worked this time. Had to uninstall from safe mode (what a pain now!) reinstall drivers and program, unplug power and usb from copier/scanner, plug back in and reboot 6 times to clear out the crap, uninstall files and reinstall files with each set of files. Now I'll go and stop future updates for at least a little while. I may look into dual boot as you suggested. It would make my life easier. Have not used that since OS/2-Warp.
