Vista solution for Minolta DImage Scanners found

Post Tue Nov 10, 2009 6:01 pm


All,
I found a web site that helped me get my Minolta Dimage Scan Dual 2 up and running on Vista. The fix is also supposed to work for other Minolta Dimage scanners. It took a couple of tries, but I am up and scanning slides at the usual slow crawl of my scanner. Check out "Solution #2" at http://www.fixya.com/support/t872019-mi ... 5400_vista. I've also posted the instructions here.

1) Install all of the usual Minolta software in Vista if you haven't already.
2) Create a new folder somewhere
3) Create a new txt file in that folder and name it minolta.inf and paste this into it:

; minolta.inf -- Test Vista Minolta Film Drivers
;
;
; To remove this driver and install the original
; manufacturer's driver, go into Device Manager,
; open Imaging devices, then click on the scanner name
; with the right mouse button and choose Uninstall.

4. Save file. Turn on scanner and go into device manager and update the old minolta driver with this driver. You may have to manually update it.
5. Once installed, all the normal Minolta programs now work just fine. Enjoy!

I tested this on Vista 32 Ultimate with a Dimage IV but it should work on all the models listed in the .inf file.
