[filmscanners] Re: Problems With SS4000

["Arthur Entlich" <artistic-1@shaw.ca>]

Hi there,

Remove (uninstall) all the Silverfast software and then all the Insight
software.  Then install Insight, and then install Silverfast again.

If you have Silverfast installed, something in the serial number
protection system that recognizes the SS4000 interferes with the Insight
software installing properly.  Get rid of it all, and reinstall with new
Insight version, then reinstall Silverfast, in that order.  That usually
does it.

Do not try copying the new version over previously installed ones (even
if it is the same version) Uninstall first!
