Hello,

when you update the operating system to a new one, there is a new core with new environment. It should not be able working with the old drivers (or it would work but with some of them). Please try to install them in Compatibility mode or try to get new drivers from the webpage from the hardware producer for Windows 10.

Sir,

I am with computers right from 1986. I went through different versions of DOS, all versions of Windows right from Windows 3.1. also I worked in Unix platform on work stations since I am a Mechanical Engineer and designer of machinery using CAD and Finite element analysis software like Ansys. So I am not new to computer hardware, software or OS. I have changed my hardware 10 times in last 16 years.

I have gone through all the steps mentioned in your reply before I posted this question. The drivers are simply not available, yet. May be the manufacturers of the hardware mentioned in my mail will be kind enough to provide drivers for their earlier products at some later date or some third party enthusiast will write the drivers for people like us. I neither have the time nor I am that young now to delve into such details.

It is not possible to go on changing all hardware peripherals like, scanners, negative scanners, laser printers, high-end display adapters every time Microsoft updates their OS sometimes without backwards compatibility. It is very unfortunate and a reason for annoyance of their customers.

Thank you anyway for your prompt response.

With kind regards -

Hello,

It sounds nice the period you are working with computers.

Make your Minolta "DIMAGE Scan Dual IV" Driver and Software work with Windows 10, Mac OS X and Linux

I am so happy to have my "DIMAGE Scan Dual IV" working again and it was so easy. The bad part is it will cost you $89.00 but on the bright side, when you download the free software you can see if your scanner is working then pay the $89.00 for the professional version. It gets better! You can use their program or the one that came with your scanner, that's right it will now start working too.

Happy Scanning,

RON
