Scanner Driver

[denmarfl]

Purchased new PC with Vista OS. I have a scanner that the manufacturer has
not and will not be making available a Vista driver for it. It connects via
USB. I connected the Scanner to the Vista PC, Vista saw it, but was unable
to find\install a driver. I was hoping that maybe Vista would assign a
native driver and it would work.

Does anyone have any suggestions/ideas (short of buying a new Vista Ready
Scanner) as to how I might get this Scanner to work under Vista? I do have
the WindowsXP driver that came with it, but I didn't try to install it
because I was concerned it might create problems.

Try using the XP drivers... you may get lucky. Depending on how the install
is setup, be sure to run any program as an administrator and also set
compatibility to WinXP.
