1 stars (A note to those thinking of Buying 9 instead of 10...) - Scansoft paperport 9 will not install with Windows XP service pack 2. They also is no fix for this. I've googled, gone to various forums and there is no fix. The official company site simply "advises" you to get Paperport 10 if you wish to have it work with Windows XP Service pack 2. 1 stars ( ScanSoft PaperPort 10 - Thumbs Down) - Many years ago, I switched from Papermaster to Paperport 7.0. The difference was so dramatic that I fell in love with Paperport right away. Since then I have upgraded as each new version was released. Paperport 9.0+ turned out to be the best that ScanSoft released. Version 10 has many problems including ease of use, missing features, instability when printing from an external document. My suggestion to those who have verson 9 is to keep it, and those contemplating purchasing Paperport for the first time, invest in version 9. It is still available many places on the web including Amazon.com 1 stars (ALL DOWNHILL FOR VERSION 10) - I HAVE USED PAPERPORT FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS. IT HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BEST PROGRAMS I HAVE USED FOR HANDLING DOCUMENTS BUT THEY HAVE ENDED THE GOOD TIMES WITH VERSION 10. WOW WHAT A FAILURE. BUGGY ERRORS WON'T SAVE DOCUMENTS SLOW TOTAL SYSTEM SLOWDOWN!!! JUST GET VERSION 9 UNTIL SCANSOFT IS LISTENING. ...

1 stars (Simply not usable from a scanning perspective.) - As one reader suggested: revert back to v8! I bought a Brother MFC that inlcuded PaperPort 8, because I wanted to utilise the ADF to get my documents onto disks, rather than floating around in the office. The software was a charm. Just put the documents into the ADF of the MFC, press Scan to file, and off it goes. I can't recall for what reason I upgraded to v9, but this was the end of being able to use the "Scan to File" function. I bought a new PC running XP. Installed v9, and had the same problem: no "Scan to file" functionality. I installed XP SP2 and the frustration kicked in. Now the software did not even work. ScanSoft advised on their web site that v10 would be required to run on XP SP2. I bought it, and guess what: scanning would not work properly. 1. "Scan to file" still does not work! 2. Scanning multiple documents does not work at all, no matter which way it is being intitiated, or whether PaperPort of SmartScan is being used. v9 and v10 are not worth the money, let alone the time wasted Google-ing around to find answers to the problem, with ScanSoft simply not carying at all. Their suggested fix of enabling Data Execution Prevention (except for PaperPort) did not make a difference!! Buy something else! I will see how how I go with v8. But v10 will be uninstalled! Buyer beware! There is much harsher critique out there... and I agree: ScanSoft does not deserve my business! 2 stars (Back to Paperport 9) - I'm a huge fan of Paperport 9; I use it extensively. I was excited to see an upgrade and recently installed PaperPort 10. While the split screen and other features are a nice improvement, the software seems very buggy. The biggest problem for me is that I can no longer scan multiple page items using an HP OfficeJet scanner. I spoke with their technical support about this issue and was informed that "PaperPort 10 is not as good as PaperPort 9 at scanning and stuff." These were the exact...
