Title: It was great until...
Review: I got this scanner in January 2003 from Amazon. It was great, and worked cleanly and smoothly with my Windows ME. I reccomend it for anyone with ME or below, in fact--it was very easy to use and set up. However, don't listen to the claims that Compaq will make about this scanner being able to work with XP: it's not true. I recently upgraded to XP, and checked out the troubleshooting guide at compaq.com, where it says that you can get drivers to make this scanner compatible. It's NOT. They wanted me to reinstall my brand new Windows, which wouldn't really solve anything. Don't get this scanner if you have XP or plan to upgrade to it in the near future, it's not worth the struggle. On the other hand, if you have 98, 2000, or ME, it's an excellent deal and good quality equipment!
