Driver needed for Minolta Dimage Scan Dual 3
I have this 35mm film/slide scanner that attaches with a USB cable that works under XP but not Vista (64). Vista can't find the driver even when I point to to it in the Windows/system32/driver folder (usbscan.sys). Is there something else I can use. Vista reports an error when it tries to find the driver but the fix (64-bit KB940199) suggested by "Problem Reports and Solutions" runs but gives a message that the fix is not needed and aborts the install. This film scanner is not that old and should run in 32bit mode if a driver can be found. Any help would be appreciated. |

Whups... the subject line totally escaped me. Drivers for that scanner go only as far as WiinXP. It's a relic, unless you still have an XP machine at home, or can load XP in a Virtual PC. |

Driver needed for Minolta Dimage Scan Dual 3
According to Minolta site this unit was released in 2003 & supports upto
winxp, not Vista, and since Minolta pulled out of 'Imaging' in early 2007 your probably out of luck. "tombster" wrote in message ...

Driver needed for Minolta Dimage Scan Dual 3
Just in case someone else has this film scanner I found that it works running
on a PC with Vista (32 bit). I also tried VueScan as suggested by Cari. VueScan does support this scanner and the drivers provide work fine. Both VueScan and the Minolta software work so you can take your pick of which software product to use. Thanks for the help.

Driver needed for Minolta Dimage Scan Dual 3
The two drives required for this scanner are usbscan.sys and ksthunk.sys.
Both drivers are from Microsoft and are located in the "C:/windows/system32/drivers/" directory.

Driver needed for Minolta Dimage Scan Dual 3
I use VueScan with Minolta Dimage Scan Dual 3 in Vista (32-bit). It works perfectly and well worth the $39 in registration (and no - I am not representing VueScan and a do not get any profit from saying this ).
