CanoScan D1250U2F & Windows 7??????????????

[infiniteMPG]

I have a like new CanoScan D1250U2F that I used for scanning various
documents, photos and negatives. Bought a new Dell that came with
Windows 7 x64 and last night tried to hook the scanner up and could
not get it to install the drivers. I emailed Canon Tech Support and
they replied back today stating :

Thanks for the suggestion. Going to try that out and it sounds like
that might be a good workaround for other things I'm having issues
with under Windows 7
