There are two components to making a scanner work.
First there are the drivers that communicate with the software and
the scanner. Then there is the software that will do it.
Unisntall Presto and download for free Irfanview.
I am not sure if Gimp does it but you can try that also. Both are free.

I have a swell little scanner ...travelscan 464 ...it comes, of course, with
a cd...well, it includes presto image manager which is slow/cumbersome; on
my laptop the scanner shows up with microsoft image manager software and
works like a champ (winxpprosp3) ...I have no idea how it got that way.
After crash, my desktop (winxphomesp3) is redone fresh (a parallel xp
install got me everything back ...cool). I don't want Presto and I wonder
how to get it to work like on my laptop? Do I need to just install the
driver without Presto? Or what? Before, I had to run a black and white
sheet through the scanner with the presto thing to get it initialized. I
don't think my laptop ever required that and it works fine & scans fine.
How should I approach this? ...TIA!!
