| 851094 | 2010-01-23 04:18:00 | Are they Win 7 drivers or did you use other drivers? | gary67 (56) | ||
| 851095 | 2010-01-23 04:20:00 | Think I installed canon drivers but win7 went away and checked for latest drivers and said ok . | cowboy stu (7021) | ||
| 851096 | 2010-01-23 04:50:00 | Did you install the CanoScan Toolbox as well ? Just looked on Canons Site (support-nz.canon.co.nz load%0Aos%3d%3dWindows%20Vista&) - and they dont show drivers for W7. I have seen it before the scanners and some printers are to old to work on W7 even though it says the drivers have loaded OK. You can also try it through a third Party program, that often does work - something like picasa (http://picasa.google.com/) - that has the option to import from a scanner. IF that doesn't work You can always try it in XP mode, and see if it picks up the Scanner correctly. Thats what I had to do with a customers old scanner last year & use Picasa. BUT since you only have home Pre, you will have to install a third party App to run XP mode From - VMLite (www.vmlite.com) - Full instructions as to how to install and run XP Mode. |

| 851100 | 2010-01-23 05:58:00 | You dont Dual boot with XP mode, its a virtual Machine within Windows 7. The idea behind XP Mode is if some programs dont work in W7 they "should" in XP mode. Its meant to be only for W7 pro and above, and some older CPU's can't handle visualization, but that program ( originally posted by Blam) allows it. You can download XP mode from The Microsoft Site (www.microsoft.com) - when you select the System select professional, you download Windows XP mode 500MB, you dont need the other one. load in VMlite, then load in XP mode as per the instructions ( its easy). Here are some screen shots of XP mode -- One is from my Windows 7 ultimate, Other from Windows 7 Home Pre using VMlite on an old P4 3.0 that cant handle virtual mode (normally) Correct XP Mode (www.imagef1.net.nz) & home Pre (www.imagef1.net.nz) & Shes a Real Grunt PC (www.imagef1.net.nz) :lol: Edited: you can take both out to full screen as if you are using XP, the screen shots are reduced to show W7 in the background. |

| 851102 | 2010-01-23 06:33:00 | I have used xp drivers for my scanner on W7. W7 will not accept xp drivers 'as is'. Copy the driver folder & contents to a folder on our hard drive. Look for the 'inf' file in the folder which contains the driver. Go to add scanner in control panel and install driver, when it asks you if you have a CD etc point it to the folder with the 'inf' file. It will probably install Ok. |
