Thank you, ma'am. Yes I do. Found out a long time ago that Windows
behaves better in full-screen mode.

Read your earlier message this morning, but was holding off responding
to it until I could try, and report on, the fixes you suggested. I
really appreciate the instantaneous and specific response!

BTW, the one part of the installation that I couldn't do by the book,
and forgot to mention was setting the "EPP" parameter for the parallel
port. My MB/BIOS has no discernible EPP parameter to set--but I'm
assuming there a lot of other machines out there without it that must
be able to run the UMAX scanners.

I quite agree. Expect I'll try each one in turn to see just what happens.
Hope to get at it this evening.

Still, it was nice to be reminded about the option of copying the settings
wholesale. May do that before I start tinkering, just to make it easier to
get out of new trouble.
