Oh... And also, once you get it all set up and running properly, DON'T swap
out the SCSI card for another one!  In trying to get the SS4000 installed
over the past weekend, I had tried another SCSI card (made by SIIG) to see
if maybe my Advansys card had gone bad.  When I finally got it working, it
was attached to the SIIG card.

Today I had the *bright* idea to go back to the Advansys card.  To my
dismay, the SS4000 was back to being driverless.  It took me a few tries to
get the thing up and running again.  If you do this moronic manuever like I
did, I think you have to boot at least once without the scanner turned on
before you can truely start the process over again from the beginning.
Everything is properly installed again (even 5.5.1), and it is working with
the Advansys card now.  However, for some odd reason, the SS4000 is labeled
as "Polaroid Sprintscan 4000 #2" in the device manager now.  But at least
it's working again.

And yes, I am now officially a moron...

I want to thank Dave Kent for his thorough reply regarding the installation
of  Polaroid Insight 5.5.1! I tried in exasperation last week and could not
get it to work with XP. Following Dave's instructions today all is installed
and working well. The key is not to reboot between uninstalling 5.0 and
installing 5.5; his instructions fail if you do the Windows reboot between
the uninstall & the new install! Hope this helps.
