I once had to sell Microtek scanner because I couldn't get any sense out of UK support - a shambolic ostrich organisation which in my case at least did nothing except repeatedly tell me to do what I had already done ('d/l latest drivers'). There was never the slightest sign that anyone was paying any attention, or interested in helping :( Microtek UK are owned by Computer Associates AFAIK. But, with a new scanner you should be dealing with the retailer. Your contract of sale was with them, and they are responsible for meeting their obligations under the Sale of Goods Act (merchantable quality, fit for purpose etc.). Dealers will often try and make you pursue the mfr, but it is the wrong thing to do. Go back to the dealer and insist on a refund or replacement; do not accept any offer of repair because it will nullify any subsequent replacement/refund request. If they don't comply, Trading Standards will assist.
