I installed this scanner today,but can't get it to work.Completly hangs my system when I try to scan.I'm on 9.1 and loaded the 3.7.3 driver from Umax.Anybody know this problem(we tried at the applestore where I bought it,it frooze there to)???????

I have the Astra 3400 and a DP Power Mac G4. When I installed the 3.73 update, I had some major problems with the scanner, similar to what you described. I ended up clean-installing my system folder and loading the original 3.7 driver and everything works fine now. Haven't tried fiddling with the 3.73 driver again--I don't think it's worth the hassle. In my opinion, I'd stay away from it.


Hope this helps you out.

I already thought it was driver related,I'm going to try and find the 3.7 driver,see if I can download that somewhere.The 3.7.3 came with the scanner on the software cd.
Thanks so far,anybody now where I can find that 3.7??

Update: I downloaded the 3.75 updater for the driver from versiontracker,and it fixed the problem.The older drivers don't seem to be working correct with 9.1
