I think Rob is right , I am also using W98SE and the ASPI drivers for the HP
stuff were the worst drivers I ever saw.
I have just receved the new ones from HP ... If you want I can copy the CD

VueScan 7.0.7 Release Notes
March 28, 2001
Quick Start for VueScan:
To scan an image:
1) Double-click c:\vuescan\vuescan.exe on Windows
or run vuescan on Linux or Mac OS
2) Insert film into scanner
3) Press "Preview" button
4)
Not that many reviews but those that are out there say it works well. But
apparently VueScan no longer supports it, though it supports the 2720S.
