I have been reading with interest articles on this scanner. As it is
so reasonably priced I decided to purchase. However, I cannot get it
to work! All of the software installs OK and the scanner appears to
scan. But, images are completely white (100% solid) with Colour
negatives or 100% black with transparency setting. If it were a
camera, it would seem as though the lens were capped.

Any ideas - or does it seem as though this is one for minolta after
sales....
 
I just got a Scan Dual IV today....setting up now....post back if you
haven't resolved the problem...sounds like something set up wrong, just
guessing...

Sounds like the lamp is blown. Take it back pronto.

I've had one for a month or so now and it works fine however I did get
some white scans when I was doing some manual cropping on a couple
occasions. The solution was to hit the autocrop button.

If that isn't your problem then I'd return the unit.
