Very much so.Ĭomplicating matters is that the Kodak i1220 scanner is a discontinued product. I appreciate your taking the time to reply. This eve happened to be one of them.Ĭlean the slate. Btu I admit that after year and years of fist fighting with Windows, I occasionally 'crack'. I very much appreciate that you took the time to respond. Sooo, mega apologizies to ya for launching like this. I would far rather work in Linux and figure out how to make a non-native Windows app work than trying to make a Windows app supposedly work, in Windows.
The very short of it is I could not even begin to calculate how much time Windows and Microsoft have wasted in terms of person-hours. I can think of a lot of rationalizations for this but more waste of time. I cannot believe how ****** up Windows persists on being stupid. Because it si and has been since 1993 a monumental waste of time. stay with a Windows 7 installed laptop and stop wasting my time. I have been doing this since 1993, when I first started using Linux. I could go on but what's the point other than me, venting. No matter what I did, and I am smart, I could not get this application and driver to work. And when they don't work, the solutions are NOT easy. This experience exposed me to Windows 8 and a perpetual ridiculous series of beyond stupid changes. As expected, I was exposed to the insanity, the inane, the absolutely ****** up logic (meaning illogic) of Microsoft making wholesale changes to their GUI, for starters. Why the bloody hell does Windows insist on shooting itself in both feet and hands, and everyone else's hands, and feet, with one bullet? At once. Part of the problem was yet again we learn why Windows upgrades suck. I tried like hell to get a driver, software. By the way, am a security expert and technology is not foreign to me at all. I searched for a couple of hours for the usual "how to get around the failed instructions" and nothing worked. I followed the installation for Windows 8 to a T. Trying to figure out how to make a simple, straight forward scanner work returns me to the horrors of the last two decades of why I bailed on Windows a very long time ago. I beg your pardon for the next text, and this is SO not what you signed up for in helping me out, but it is an opportunity to vent on what I have been saying for years. but the scanning software then complained that the drivers were not the right version. So I installed the latest scanning software and thought I was home free. I figured out that I did not have a scanning software, only the drivers installed.
Hello! And THANK YOU for replying to my plea for help.
