Does anyone own a Visioneer OneTouch 5820 Scanner? I need help. I cannot get mine to scan my pictures.I have the cord inserted into the back of my comp correctly, and the light on the scanner is on, and its plugged up, but when I go to scan my picture it does NOTHING! What have I did wrong? Help Please!

I had the exact problem, with the exact Visioneer scanner as well. I gave up on it, and just threw it away- the repair said it's cheaper to get a new one, than to fix it.

I've got one thing to say - ditch your scanner and get a Hewlett Packard instead. At least it ACTUALLY scans.

Yah, figures. Well I am not wasting that money I spent on it. I am going to atleast TRY and get my money back. If I get another one it will be a Hewlett Packard too.

No, I don't, I have a really chunky model from 2000 - lemme see if I can find the picture. It sucks because it has no easy access buttons, I have to start it via Start > Programs.

That's the kind I have, except it doesn't have the pretty blue in the front...it works pretty good.
