Cant use an Olympus ES-10 Film Scanner with XP!
by fsonline - 3/3/07 9:02 AMI have a scanner that has no driver for XP that I bought for slide and transparency sacnning just befor I made the switch to XP. Olympus offered no driver for this scanner for XP, and it makes me crazy, since it's a great scanner - 1770x1770 resolution, 24 Bit. I have thousands of 35mm, and medium format negs, and transparencies taken over twenty years. Anyone have ideas on a solution? If you want to contact direct, its fsonline(AT SYMBOL)adelphia.net. Thanks

Solution: Locate from a friend or small computer shop, an older computer (Pentium 2 or Pentium 3) with Windows 98 second edition loaded on it. The computer will have to have the video card driver already installed to view hi-res pictures etc. Install a CD burner and the Olympic software for parallel port (printer port, Run: Setup.exe found on the CD in the ES10_P folder) and away you go. A 20 Gig harddrive should be plenty large enough. If you want to store your scans on this computer and edit them there, then a larger one will be needed.

You can use the trail version to see if you are happy with it, and if so download the full version for $20.
Good luck
