From within Word97 if you do an Insert-Picture-From Scanner, Photo Editor
will launch and you can see if your scanner works.  If you don't have
Word97, I would recommend downloading and installing Paintshop Pro
shareware to see if the scanner works.  I have three scanners and none show
up anywhere in Windows(95) until I "acquire" a picture with an application.
