I had problems like that once upon a time in 2000 when I used the
Minolta software. Then I started using Vuescan and have never since
had a problem with the Scan Dual II.
Do be sure you are loading the negative tray in the proper direction.
It should slide in up to the mark and then the servos will catch it.
But try Vuescan .. http://www.hamrick.com
Vuescan is worth it for this scanner. Better focusing, more control,
faster and more reliable operation.

Does anyone out there own a Minolta Scan Dual II (or III or IV, for

I bought one a while back, to digitize my APS film.. worked great
for that.
I just got back from a diving trip, and we picked up a cheap 35mm
re-usable dive camera. I can't seem to get the scanner to load the
35mm tray. The scanning software keeps complaining about the film
strip holder not being in its proper place. How far do you push
this thing in? The manual describes a film holder that is slightly
different from the one I have.. min is side hinged, and is missing
a "load to here" mark.
(got the scanner off ebay, a couple years ago. was I given the
wrong film holder?)
Help!?
