Thanks for the response. I just wrote to Vivitar again
and asked if they have drivers for Windows 2000 but I
don't think they do because when I went to their website
it only had the drivers the scanner for Windows 95/98 and
it clearly pointed that out. I did ask if there was
anyway to convert the scanner to be able to use it with
USB. I don't know about things like that and the only way
to find out is to ask. I appreciate your help. Thanks.
