I searched on Google and there were lots of reviews and report of problems on Amazon.
Here is some info that MIGHT help.

The only downside I must mention is that when the unit arrived, the power supply was defective. Because I have a background in electronics, I was able to quickly deduce the power supply was at fault and not the unit. Because I was very busy, I set the unit aside and didn't file a complaint with the manufacturer - and it sounds like were I to do so, I would have had trouble anyhow, considering their buyout by Sony. When I got around to desiring to use the unit, I found another 24VDC power supply in the garage and rewired it to work with the unit. It has worked fine ever since.

Well where to start. The software is pretty bad (-1) and to make matters worse, the documentation though thorough doesn't cover all the problems you will encounter (-2) and/or every little thing you need to worry about to properly install/use the product..! The scan quality is excellent though and you will enjoy it IF YOU GET IT TO WORK (What a pain in the neck!).
If its not working for you, try the following (I use XP):
1) reboot!
2) login
3) close any other scanners you have, make sure scanner is NOT plugged into a USB HUB! Even if its a USB 1.1 port, use it! The software and scanner will only hang on a USB 2.0 HUB.
4) MAKE SURE SCANNER DOOR IS CLOSED!, power on scanner
5) bring up the software you want to use, I use the launcher
6) you are probably using slides, slide the door open partially so the slide tray can just fit into it, you will feel the door settle into the position, about 3/4 inch, a light should be glowing inside since the unit is powered on.
7) insert slide tray slowly, the machine will grab it all of sudden...

select batch scan utility.
9) scanner takes over and processes your slides.
10) scanner spits slide tray out all the way when done...
that's it.
GOOD LUCK

There was one problem with the scanner. On my first attempt to power it up, it wouldn't come on at all. I called Konica Minolta customer service who asked that I send them the cords. They promptly sent replacement cords and it worked like a charm.
