Do not download starrsoft win500. You will not be sent a registration key. I did that a few months ago thru paypal. After a period of time, paypal ruled in my favor and my money was reimbursed to my mastercard. I dont want anyone else to be taken like i was

I downloaded and bought registration key with no problem. Email spam filter perhaps?
Use Win500 had no problems getting my registration key.

I've had good experience with Win500 too, however there have been a lot of reports lately of people not being supplied with a key after they pay. Don has apologized in the forums and had apparently corrected previous issues, but the problems do seem to keep happening.

I used win500 for 6 years. No problem then i got a new pc and had lost the registration key so i purchased a new one. I agree. Win500 is a great program, but if paypal cant get a reply from starrsoft they refund your money. I only posted this for other people, because obviously things have changed

Stick with paypal. They will refund you. It takes a few weeks. On the other hand i downloaded psredit. Same as win500. Got key instantly. Works great

I bought mine two years back or so. I admit that there was a delay on receiving the Key. I am guessing this is not a full time job for the author!
After a few emails to them, they sent it.

Works well.

Report it to your credit card company for a reimbursement and then purchase PSRedit.

Are you saying that there's a scanner model out there that cannot be manually programmed? Then I understand why Win500 are so important to people.

Right after Whistler announced that they will release two new scanners he dissapeard. Instead of the promised 7 months production time for the new scanners it was added another 3 months and then there where an additional 3 months added on top of that. If he doesn't even respond to the emails that arrives at his companies inbox then he must be under an enormous preassure.

Which is odd, since he used to be very active on these boards. I hope there is not a major problem.
