I have just been given a Maplin N16JA film and slide scanner as a gift; it comes with what is said to be MediaImpressions2. Two questions: First off, I follow all the instructions in the book to the letter and when it comes to 'Acquire' the picture the entire computer freezes up forever, the only solution seemingly being to unplug it, after which it tells me 'The system has recovered from a serious error.' What is going on? Secondly, I tried downloading the manual for this programme from this site - fine, no problems, except that the programme to which the manual refers has loads of features not present on my version, so it is no help at all, so again, what is going on? I cannot 'Register' the product and contact ArcSoft because there is no serial number and importantly no 'ArcSoft Connect' facility. Any ideas how I can make this thing work, please?

If you have a concern there, once again the best source of an answer will be the hardware manufacturer.

We offer, and would love to sell full releases of our software with full device customer service support to vendors, but we cannot force anyone to buy everything we have available.

Like you I was recently looking to buy an inexpensive slide scanner for archiving my legacy library of photographs - but couldn't decide on what to buy. Eventually, I chose the considerably more expensive Canoscan 9000f - and I'm really glad that I did. Many of the colour negatives in my collection were either scratched, grainy or faded. The software supplied with the Canon solved all these problems with a click of the mouse - and that was before importing them into the supplied Photoshop Elements for any last minute tweaking.

Probably worth doing if you have a smallish number you really want done well. Plucked from a Google of '35mm slide scanning' at random this place charge 50p per slide (getting cheaper with in bulk) - something like the Maplin one Ion low cost dedicated slide scanner (£40-50). This will probably do a reasonable job and won't take forever though it sounds like there may be quality control issues based on this thread (which I haven't seen before).
