  Thanks.. that makes me feel better :) Abel Deuring also replied to me from
  the list saying he didn't think it was my fault either... that most likely
  it was broke before i got it. Time to send it back to the factory and see
  what they say! If the scanner never got through all of its self test modes
  because the lamp tracking mechanism was screwed maybe that would explain why
  it was sending back some i/o errors when trying the set_window function.
