Scanner crashes Windows XP too
I have a similar problem with my Canon LiDE 35, though it doesn't crash the MacBook Pro, only Windows. I've installed the latest drvers from Canon, but all I need to do to get Windows to instantly blue screen is to plug the scanner into the USB port and allow Windows to try plug 'n play. The process also has the scanner make some horrendous grinding noises before the whole thing falls over. Trying to use TWAIN acquire in my graphics software has the same effect.
Is this something to do with Parallels not having USB 2.0 support?
(I'm using the Final Release version of Parallels with new tools installed. I hadn't tried connecting the scanner in previous releases.)
