Hi There,
There are many choices for flatbed scanners these days. Most likely any name brand scanner would work for you.

I would suggest the Canon LIDE 110 for $ 60- (from the Canon site…link below).

It works with Windows 7,Windows Vista, Windows XP , Windows Vista , Windows XP and Mac OS X v10.4.11 to v10.6

There is only one cable to plug in (USB cable for data and power) and this scanner is very small but can scan9.9″ (W) x 14.6″ (D) documents. The scanner is only 1.6 inches high.
The Canoscan software is easy to use and setup is very easy.

Hope this helps,
Al

Turn on the scanner’s light to reveal any overlooked smudges, fingerprints, or dirt. Step 4: Select your DPI based on your image use For images you intend to print, a DPI (or dots per inch) of 300 is recommended. Slides or negatives need a DPI of at least 2400. For use on the Web, a DPI of 72 is acceptable. Step 5: Scan your old photos Using the software that came with your scanner, scan each photo into your computer.

I speak highly of the Canon MP470 Photo All-in-One.

It offers modern design and enhanced performance, the PIXMA MP470 gives you printing, copying, and scanning in one compact machine.

The ink almost never runs out and the prints come out looking beautiful, I highly recommend it.

I scan a photo and try to launch it to My Pictures in my computer but
the instructions that I read on the screen Epson Smart Panel are so
