He has tryed pc world but may have well have spoken to a wall.

thanks

You can use any normal scanner to scan negatives higher resolution the better.
Set scan area to negative size otherwise you will have to crop later, you can of course use the scanner to blow up the scan to whatever size photo's you would like. Then of course use a photo manipulation package of your choice to make them into positive images.

I've used this method many times for old negatives like those you have (of which I've hundreds) with no problems.
