Have a busy weekend ahead with family Christmas stuff to deal with but if I get chance will download Irfanview and install and see how I get on.
As I am not at home with the scanner cannot try any of the tricks offered yet but rest ashored I will do and thanks for the help.
Post Christmas Update
Irfan view installed and all images open OK
Thanks for all help
