It took a little bit of time (not knowing whether to do the x82/32-bit or 圆4/64-bit installation, I apparently chose the wrong one and it failed to work until I did the 64-bit installation) and a lot of swearing, but I got it to work. My laptop is no longer recognizing it's disk drive (time for the hubby to get friendly with my computer again) so I installed the converter on one of his laptops. I could never tell if I was going to have a good day with it or a bad day.I put it away for quite some time and decided that today was the day I was going to bring it out and see how it ran on Windows 7. I tried everything, removing the USB plug and putting it in another port, reinstalling the software/drivers/etc, closing it down and walking away, yelling at it, voodoo, etc. Sometimes it would work for one picture and sometimes it would work for an hour or more, but inevitably it would crash and burn. The converter was compatible with Vista, but is anything really compatible with Vista? The converter didn't work right off the bat and I had to reintall the software a few times before I got it running, but it would crash. Download the correct bit level for your computer - 32 or 64 bit - and then install them. › Filmscan 35 I Software Check the manufacturers support site for newer drivers, they might have Windows 7 drivers that you can download and install. Most of the complaints at the time had to do with it taking so long rather than the quality and effectiveness of the converter itself, so I decided to give it a go.I must start by saying that my laptop had been running Windows Vista. I went with the FilmScan 35 I by Innovative Technology. What I saw were negative/slide converters that were either several hundred dollars or less than $100. I started searching online and came across a number of them on. The printers I looked into that could handle negatives and slides were waymore than I wanted to pay. Sadly, I believed that my all-in-one printer could do this and found out quickly that I was mistaken. It does so here goes.A year or so ago I finally got my negatives into archival sleeves and in binders (labeled by location of course!) and thought it was time to sit down and start scanning them.
I gave her my quick 2 cents and promised a review when time allowed. I actually am reviewing this because my friend Jen of had talked about these types of scanners and wanting one. That's not why I decided to do this post. What I can do is review something from an everyday user point of view.Now I've noticed that Dick Eastman has had a couple posts about negative/slide scanners recently. 'Thingie' and 'Whatchamacallit' are technical terms in my book. I'm not technologically sound.I'm not completely clueless either, but as for why things work the way they do.well, I'm not your girl. Now don't look for me to be writing many Tech Tuesday posts.
