Wendell, Leslie-
Hi! Good news- you just weren't looking for PP9 in the right way. If you want Paperport 9, do a search for "Visioneer Strobe software" or simply go to this eBay link ->
http://cgi.ebay.com/Visioneer-Strob...QcategoryZ51087QQcmdZViewItem#vi-content It comes with PP7 as well as the PP9 upgrade. It installs in less than 10 minutes. Cost: $14.99 (plus S&H cost of $2.77). You don't have to rush- they have 10 available. I got one of these about 6 months ago. They work well with Win XP and no, I don't use a Strobe Pro (I have an HP Multifunction for scanning).
The seller has 2650 sales with a 100% satisfaction report card. Really can't beat that deal...
Cheers,
Al
