Tell me about it! I've been having a serious problem with this in the last 
week!
Sometimes I have to rescan a few times before I get acceptable results, and
even then I have to go over it digitally to remove any dust. Where is the 
digital
Pledge, when you need it! I only start noticing this when I can at 400 dpi and
higher. Anyways, I've now resorted to getting a photolab, to scan in my
Realist uncut negatives to Kodak PhotoCD (at 30 cents a pic!).
