Genius Scanners from e-buyer

Ordered a scanner from e-buyer only a cheap one as i dont use it that often. It came on tuesday and has totally wrecked my pc >:(
It was a Genius Vivid 1200X. You cannot install it on windows xp like it claims as it just makes your computer crash badly. I have had to install windows again so lost everything i had on the pc.
I thought it was just the cd at first as it had a slight scratch on it, so downloaded the drivers from genius but no that made my pc crash again
Its a load of rubbish so is going back. Just hope i get a refund.

I take it all back it was not the scanner which is now working perfectly. It was the damned service pack 2 update for XP. I have had to re-install windows again, after it started playing up Internet Explorer and many otehr things.
Have not got PC running perfectly (without SP2) and will not be downloading this from MS.
You have been warned.
