Are you running W10 x64? That's the OS I have and I am also using USB 2.0. I went through the same pain of trying and timing out or getting an error until the latest update. I haven't scanned more than 10 times since the last update, so I don't know ...
Ahhhh I see. I was basing it on the first few scans. Guess it was too soon. Thank you for the comments! If I get annoyed l will take your recommendations! It's a shame that a good product like this is failed by poor drivers....
