I have the above scanner that is a great scanner and worked fine with Windows 95 & 98. I can not find any support for it under Windows 2000. Umax will not supply a Windows 2000 driver for it. Does anyone know how I could get it to work?

http://www.umax.com/scanners/standard/support/download.cfm Go to this site and download the NT version. It may work in Win2K.
Also, run apcompat.exe. Its on the Win2K cd in the support folder. You can use it to trick a program into thinking it'srunning under a different OS.

I tried this several times and I could not get it to work.

Umax do not oficially support Win2k, but they do have a driver that will get your 1220s working under 2000. Have done this myself. Dowload the following driver update....

Will get your scanner working schweeeet.

You can of course download this driver from Umax as well, but my company site hosts it too and I couldn't be bothered looking for the file at Umax.com
