My scanner stopped working after I've installed VBox 1.5

I'm using VBox on Xubuntu 7.04 and have Windows 2000 as guest system. With VirtualBox 1.4 I could use my scanner Canon Lide 500F perfectly. I've upgraded to VirtualBox 1.5 (and Guest Additions 1.5) and since then my scanner doesn't work anymore (I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers etc. but it still doesn't work). It is recognized by Win2000, but, when I try to use it, I get an error message ("cannot communicat with scanner. Cable may be disconnected or scanner may be turned off. Check status. Scanner driver will be closed" and then "Unable to open TWAIN source. Please check connection then restart Toolbox").
I'd like to downgrade to Vbox 1.4, but I couldn't find it in your web site. Is there a way to get this earlier version? Or is there a way to make my scanner work in Vbox 1.5?
Thanks

Thanks for your help. I've installed VirtualBox 1.4 and everything works again. So, I can confirm: my scanner (Canon Lide 500F) stopped working on VirtualBox 1.5. Hope this will be fixed soon.
