Yes, its very difficult to insert a mounted slide.. what I did was to break off
ONE of the little plastic pressure tabs.. no more problems after that, scans are
not affected at all.
I have had my Scanwit for a while now, the thing is flawless and reliable. I
have done probably close to a thousand scans with it. I'm very happy. All I use
is Vuescan. I'm trying to scan all my family pictures before they degrade into
oblivion. Its an impossible job, too many pictures.
