I have an Ion slide scanner which is supplied with Arcsoft Photo
Impression 6. I am running it on Vista Ultimate. When the software
runs the results are great, but it is unstable and slow.
So I have looked at other slide scanning software and came up with
Vuescan. It looks a lot more professional. However, it can not find
the scanner. I have looked in the device manager and the scanner
appears under imaging devices, but in control panel/scanners and
cameras the Ion slides2pc does not appear. I have tried adding a
device but vista does not recognise the .inf files provided on the
driver disc.

Is this a case of another bad Vista driver compatibility?
Any suggestions please?

Look at the supported scanner list.
Is your scanner listed.

Did you get the Vista version of VueScan?
