I just found this Slide scanner branded “Stratford Labs” model GFP-001 at a yard sale for $5.00 CND ( $2.92 US). It had no software or manuals with it. The user’s manual was easy to find but I searched in vain over 3 hours for software. Beware there are lots of sites that try to lure you into believing they have the drivers etc. One way of knowing they are fake is if you see a .exe file. These sites will install adware or malware into your computer.
I own another similar device branded ION but its drivers did not work. I also read that you don’t need drivers if you use Visa or XP. So I installed Windows XP within VMWare but it too did it could not find drivers.
After uninstalling the unit from Device manager and re-installing, I notice that Windows 7 called it a 35mm Film scanner. So I searched again and found this page http://www.driverscape.com/download/35mm-film-scanner.
I tried the 3 drivers found here but only this one seemed to work

Stratford Labs Digital Image Copier Product Description
What happens when you find a box of old slides in your parent's or grandparent's attic and you can't view these photos?

Old slide scanners used to be very expensive and very slow and the alternative of hiring a service to do it is even more expensive. This Stratford Labs scanner has a 4-element glass lens, a 5.0 megapixel CMOS
Stratford Labs Digital Image Copier Customer Reviews
This is really a camera in a back lighted box. It is much faster than a scanner. Each picture takes only 6 seconds. The software that comes with it (Arcsoft) works well and automatically improves photographs. I had to shut off the anti-virus software to avoid interference.
Great product!( By Douglas M. Gates '2010-03-21' )
Seems to be on eof the better ones- good pics and quick. Take care with the plastic holder. its not strong.
Works as promised( By Reg Nordman '2010-01-02' )
Once installed, the scanner works quickly and easily. But the manual is terrible. The instructions for installation and operation are incomplete and ambiguous. Here's sentence typical of the English translation: 'Have manual 'Calibrate' while the first time you use your Digital Image Copier.' The trouble-shooting instructions are useless
Good product, crummy manual( By Seth Masia '2010-03-14' )
Unable to install driver from either provided CD or website download. Computer locks up at driver installation. Apparently software is incompatible with my machine: Compaq R4000, AMD 64 Athlon, Windows XP SP2. Numerous reviews suggest device is sound, software is poor.
Driver installation failed( By stvbck '2010-05-01' )
