I used this solution from
KainAnderson1) Install the Konica Minolta XP software in Win 7.
2) Plug in your DImage Scanner into a USB port and turn it on with the door closed. It may detect and install the original Konica Minolta Driver.
3) Create an empty folder on you harddrive (for instance go to my computer, double click on the c: drive, then right click and create a new folder named newminolta).
4) Open windows notepad and copy the following into it:
; scanners.inf -- Test Vista Minolta Film Drivers
;
;
; To remove this driver and install the original
; manufacturer's driver, go into Device Manager,
; open Imaging devices, then click on the scanner name
; with the right mouse button and choose Uninstall.

5. Now save you new notepad file in the directory you created as newminolta.inf NOT as newminolta.inf.txt or newminolta.txt (i.e. c:\newminolta\newminolta.inf)
6. Go to control panel (View Devices and Printers).
7. Right click on Minolta Scan Dual III and click on properties.8. Select Hardware tab, then select Properties
9. Select Driver tab, then select update driver
10. Select Browse my computer for driver software.
11. Browse to c:\newminolta\newminolta.inf (or wherever you stored file) and click Next
12. Click Next. After running driver file Win 7 should now say it updated driver.
13. Run Dimage software with door closed. Wait for it to initialize and green light stops blinking.
14 Open door and insert film holder and start scanning.
Hopefully I've copied and amended the solution correctly
I have the identical problem - and have tried new USB cables - a different computer - removed and reinstalled the software - telephoned the Minolta helpline but they did not ring me back as promised. Feel very frustrated
Peter.
I also have the same problem. I am running the software on Mac OS X 10.4.11. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the scanner software but the indicator light will not stop blinking.
After scanning a couple of trays of slides the scanner locked up with the film inside it. I had to turn the unit off and on again to get it to eject the tray. I'm using a Mac with OS10 and I get a message that says it cannot be launched because I may have other Dimage software running which of course I do not. I also have the blinking light but only when the door is closed. Thankyou so much for any help you can offer.
The door is closed, the light keeps blinking sporadically and it tells me i need to close the door. how do I get past this step? THanks
SCANNER STOPPED WORKING AND REPEATEDLY TELLS BE UNABLE TO OPEN SCANNER, BE SURE DIMAGE SOFTWARE IS NOT OPEN, WHICH IT IS NOT.
