| 1140964 | 2010-10-01 20:54:00 | I have downloaded a driver to try and get my scanner to work in windows7, but as this is new territory for me I am not quite sure how to install it. Can someone help please.? | Pato (2463) | ||
| 1140965 | 2010-10-01 20:59:00 | Assuming it's W7 compatible. Should be in the instructions. Install th driver first without the scanner attached. Reboot if necessary and attach the scanner. |

| 1140966 | 2010-10-01 21:02:00 | And if youre using 64 bit, make sure the driver is 64 bit as well. Or it wont work (or may not install) / or may crash the system | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

Reboot if necessary and attach the scanner.Well it is a Vista driver and I am hopefull it will work in win7. I didn't get any instructions, just the driver!! |

| 1140968 | 2010-10-01 21:04:00 | It should be compatible with Win7. IF the driver was from the manufacturer's site. What is it? an exe / install file, or inf file and a few files? If its an exe file run it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

If it's 32bit I think it might work. I have heard that folks have gotten discontinued driver support scanners to work in both 32 and 64bit on some "certain" scanners but not all. I guess you have to just try it out :D |

If its an exe file run itYes it is from the manufacturers site and it is a .exe file. Just run it.? It is that simple.? OK thanks. | Pato (2463) | ||
| 1140971 | 2010-10-01 21:22:00 | Yup but as Nomad said, dont plug the scanner in until you reboot the system (or when it tells you to plug it in) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1140972 | 2010-10-02 00:30:00 | Yup but as Nomad said, dont plug the scanner in until you reboot the system (or when it tells you to plug it in)Unfortunately, it can't find scanner. I guess it ain't going to work. Looks like my Printer and Scanner that worked well with XP doesn't like Win7 |

| 1140973 | 2010-10-02 00:33:00 | Did you plug it in then turn it on?? Whats the brand/model of the scanner. What cant find the scanner, a program or the install? (did you leave it unplugged while you installed the drivers)? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
