Hi Greysts
You are going to be sick of me. I installed the scanner set up CD rom. and then installed the driver. I then checked back to your advice and think maybe I should have installed the driver first am I right? When I finished installing the driver a box came up asking me to reinstall as something was incompatible with Vista!! I plugged the scanner in after all this.
I have just tried to get me scanner working and the only way I can is to go into Adobe Photoshop Elements and import.
I am sure I don't need all the things that have been downloaded from the cd they are as follows. (I did the easy install on the CD would have preferred to do the custom install which gave you the option of what to download only I wasn't sure what I could omit.)

Folder:-Canon Canonscan Lide 90 Manual with canonscan Lide on screen manual in and the option to uninstall.

Folder:-Canon Utilities with MP Navigator Ex 1.0 in and a solution menu

Folder:-Canonscan Lide 90 with Read Me and the option to uninstall in.

Folder:-Presto Page Manager 7.15 with Import old data, Readme, and the option to uninstall

Folder:-Scansoft Ominpage SE 4 with ominpage SE4, Scanner set up wizard, and a guide

I am certain I don't need half of this rubbish but don't know how to choose what I have to have and what I don't!

Are you at your wits end yet, because I am. I am frightened to turn off the computer incase the same thing happens as last time.

The FTM patch was a doddle and the computer appeared to restart without a problem.

Regards
Maureen
