Download the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor from the Microsoft site and run it on your XP system. Plug your camera to your computer and run the program. It should tell you if there are drivers available and if it is compatible with W7.

You can find it here. Konica Minolta Photo Imaging Europe GmbH DiMAGE Scan Dual IV

Have you right clicked on the .exe file of windows 7 executable for the Minolta scanner to select compatibility to switch it back to xp.Have you tried to use third party twain drivers for scan software such as silverfast or vuescan instead?

I have heard of people managing to edit the driver to make this work in Windows7 but I have never managed it myself. However it does work if you use 'Vuescan' instead of the original software - you have to pay for it but there's a free trail so you can try it out first...

I have the same problem with mine; medium format scans are fine but 35mm scans are stretched. The same happens with both the Minolta software and with Vuescan. Has anyone manage to fix this?

see if one side isnt off track sometimes they jump off track lift up on one side .

Are you doing index scans or prescans? Sometimes the software gets funky - try doing at index scan if you are doing prescans, and vice versa. Also try CHTL+SHIFT+I which is a recalibration (don't that will do anything but it can't hurt). The best thing might be to just remove Dimage totally (you may have to delete the main folder if you've created any Jobs) and then reload the software. Before you do that, update your virus software, do a system check, and maybe some maintenace like a Defrag - then reboot, remove the software, reboot again and reload software.
