That is something I tried - the scanner is a Cannon 4200F which is getting on a bit now - when I put the disc in it says not compatable with this operating systen (Windows 7)

Try using a 3rd party scanner application...

I had the same problem and then discovered that there was a solution... after I'd got rid of the scanner.

Thank you, I downloaded and scanned the slide - when I clicked on the scanned image it got slightly bigger but not much -I remember when this scanner was connected to the other computer the image was much larger and you could edit it and rotate & reverse it - how can I do this.
Also right across the image it says 'Buy Vue Scan'

You could just download the driver from the canon website for windows 7

My guess, though it doesn't mention it on their web site, is that this is a limitation of the free trial version. Maybe the resolution is limited in that too, which is why you can't enlarge it.
