1263346	2012-03-06 07:50:00	I have an old but reliable Flatbed Scanner 23 [3300/4400] and have just updated to a new Windows 7 computer [32 Bit]. After looking around for a compatible driver i joined up with a site, paying good dough for just one driver, only to find that it does not have a compatible driver for this equipment after all! Does anyone know where I can get one, preferrably free? I find this strange, needing a driver: even my old (make that VERY old) Photoshop 6 runs on the new machine, but a simple Twain scanner will not!! TFYH GrahamB	GrahamB (750)
1263347	2012-03-06 07:51:00	If its too old, Win7 probably doesnt support it. If there's no driver on the manufacturer's site, there wont be one at all. You may have to get a more modern scanner	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1263348	2012-03-06 07:55:00	Have you looked to see if PS recognises the scanner? There are twain plugins for PS	plod (107)

1263350	2012-03-06 23:32:00	which version of Win7 as you could possibly use XP mode, surprised no one else suggested it	gary67 (56)
1263351	2012-03-12 10:35:00	PS 6 recognises it on my XP Pro machine. PS 6 works OK on Win 7 BUT does not recognise scanner!	GrahamB (750)
1263352	2012-03-12 10:37:00	I have Windows 7 Pro 32 Bit. What is involved in using XP mode? What are the downsides, and can I do it with this set up? If so how? THYH	GrahamB (750)
1263353	2012-03-12 18:54:00	Not sure how as I only have home premium which doesn't have XP mode, I think you right click and select XP or something. It is XP in a virtual machine so should not have any downsides	gary67 (56)
1263354	2012-03-12 21:39:00	I find this strange, needing a driver this is 100% normal. It's a completely new Operation System. Alot of older scanners & MFC's have issues with Windows7 , even $1000+ MFC's that are less than 5 years old (yes,talkin bout you HP) :badpc: The manufacturers have decided its just to old to be bother writing a win7 driver for it.	1101 (13337)
1263355	2012-03-13 06:49:00	XP mode is a separate download ( about 469mb). You download then install it. Then select XP mode from the menu (it'll install XP, which comes with its own key). It works fine with this cam. Haven't tried it with a scanner yet. But it'll probably work, once you install a program for it	Speedy Gonzales (78)
