Regarding your inability to get 5.5 to work. Do you have Silverfast on your system? Some people have been reporting that the system used to assure you have a valid scanner to authorize your ability to use Silverfast is causing some conflicts with allowing upgrading Insight or even causing the scanner to not be found. People have successfully corrected this problem by removing both Insight and Silverfast and then loading up Insight first, and then reloading Silverfast. The instability is likely not related to this, however. I don't know what is causing that for you. Was it always crashing at the same time in the same process, or was it more random? (you did mention often on the second scan...)

I am using a stand alone version. Insight 5.5 would not start at all. I have been struggling with this for some time, and on the suspicion that there might be some conflicting software I have just reformatted the c: drive, (after getting very marginal improvements with lesser steps) and currently only have AOL and insight loaded on the machine. Unfortunately it is still very unstable. I will now try a completely clean install of Insight 5.5 Many thanks, Brian Boggenpoel.

For what it's worth, I had terrible instability with Polacolor and Win98. That problem completely disappeared with a switch to Win2000 Professional.

This could point to a PC hardware problem. Can you load the software on an other PC and check if that is also unstable when using the scanner. Sometimes RAM and Motherboard problems just happen at the worst of times. You have loaded the latest video drivers available I assume.
