Installed 'Simple Scan' and 'Xsane' - Results of my endeavours so far:-

Without The SBSfw.usb in the /gt68xx dir I get errors.

See screen shots...
I renamed the file so not to be 'seen' by adding 'Z'
Got errors - removed the 'Z' and they work, all except when saving of Image with Xsane.

Had to kill the process as she hung. Have not 'messed about' with config file and poss will not bother, as no sweat for 'Scanning Sessions' on XP. Might come back to it though.

Oxie...
