I have a Microtek V6USL, which is approximately the same vintage as your E6.
There have not been drivers updated for this since Windows 2000, but if you
dowload Scan Wizard 5.12 from www.microtek.com, follow the Windows XP
installation procedure precisely, it will work -- even the GO button. 

For apps, I've used mostly Ulead Photo Impact and Adobe Acrobat and it scans
quite well. Photo Impact is available as a 30-day trial version from
www.ulead.com.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Microtek scanner


Scanner E6 problem, scans a perfect test each time I try it. I have
ScanWizard installed and it shows a good test. I have tried 4 different
photo editors and all work fine with the E6 -- ONE time only I get a scan
and then on the next try I get "Error 204 scanning lamp or image sensor
circuit failure. Please don't select fast preview or draft scan!"  This
happens in all four of the photo editors. Yet Scanwizard will give a ok test
scan. If I uninstall the program (editor) and reinstall it, I can get one
successful scan and then on the next try Error 204 comes up again. I
deselected fast preview, which did nothing. I can find no place to deselect
draft scan. Computer is a Pentium MMX 233, 96mb and Win 98se. E6 is on a
scsi card. Any help or suggestions  will be appreciated. Jim Prettyman
