VueScan works with the Minolta Scan Dual III on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

If you're using Windows and haven't installed the Minolta driver, you can instead install VueScan's driver by:

1. Make sure you've installed the latest version of VueScan
2. Click the Start button in the lower left corner
3. Click 'Computer' or 'My Computer' with the right mouse button and choose 'Properties'
4. Click the 'Hardware' tab (not needed on Vista or 7) and then click 'Device Manager'
5. Click the scanner with the right mouse button and choose 'Properties'
6. Click the 'Driver' tab
7. Click 'Uninstall'
8. Reboot the computer

If Windows asks for a driver for the scanner, tell it to install it automatically or to look in c:\vuescan.

This should cause the driver for the scanner to be loaded properly.

You can use this scanner on Mac OS X and Linux without installing any other software.

If you have problems with this scanner hanging, try replacing the USB cable with a newer USB cable, preferably a shorter one. This scanner came with a low-quality USB cable, and is also sensitive to USB timing on faster computers.
