Has SiverFast
come out with a fix to the Upgrade Disaster?
I have a Wintel system (PIV 1.4g, Win2k,
lots of hard drive space). I held off upgrading when I heard of all the
problems, be they installation, IT8 Calibration, etc.
Thanks,
John

Roger,
I'll need to rub the sleep from my eyes before typing next time. The sentence in my earlier post:
Unfortunately the message is erroneous - the Photoshop scratch disk REQUIRES contiguous hard disk space of approximately 5 times
slower.

That sounds a bit like dodgy ASPI drivers. Have you tried any other SCSI

SilverFast can't be uninstalled because
it's a plug-in; you have to hunt for the files to be deleted.
What's the problem? There's a folder called SilverFast (Polaroid) in

Reference the Windows swap file:
If I can track down the Microsoft and Adobe documentation that recommends this
configuration I'll post the links.
Some of the Microsoft links I promised.

Thanks, Steve. SilverFast also advised me to set the marching ants frame
inside of where they were supposed to be. I tried it and it didn't work for
me. But when I was finally able to get a new serial number for the 5.5
upgrade, I found that I was able do an IT8 calibration with no problem and
need to redo them.Think positive :-)

Does anyone know if the $45US upgrade includes both SilverFast Ai and HDR?
I think it does but I've always been confused about HDR. My Polaroid 5.5
upgrade allows me to save raw scans, that's HDR ain't it? (Scan

I called the SilverFast U.S.A. office and got help. (They're slow with
answering e-mail.) They said you have to pay $45 to upgrade Ai and another
$45 to upgrade HDR. Also, they charge to upgrade each scanner you have. The
exception is for Polaroid since they use one piece of software for both

Or do we have to spend $45 for each, for a total of $90? SilverFast isn't
responding to my e-mails and they aren't answering my questions at their
forum site.
