You put 1200 UB in the subject line but are asking about a 600. Which are
you looking for? If it is the 600-CP that scanner is too old. Mustek has
drivers for it for Win95, NT, and Win98 only. The Product Guide for the
1200 UB Plus lists drivers for Win98, ME, 2000, and XP but nothing for
Vista. This scanner may be too old for Mustek to do Vista drivers.

If you can't find a driver, then investigate VueScan (google it). May do the
job. HTH James :-)

VueScan doesn't support Mustek scanners *at all*.

I've just installed a Mustek 1200 CU scanner on Vista.

I used the XP driver from the Mustek website.

You have to temporarily edit the registry to make the installer think
you have XP

In regedit, go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cu rrent Version
Find the "product name" key. Carefully record what it says before you
start. (eg paste it into a document somewhere).

Then change it to make it read: Microsoft Windows XP

Then run the Mustek XP installer, and change the registry key back to
saying Vista.

The scanner works fine in Photoshop, for example, but the Vista
scanning wizard doesn't detect the scanner. Don't think it uses TWAIN?

Thank you this works.

Thanks CTSRutland!

Temporarily changing the product ID is a stroke of genius!

I wonder how many other XP-only drivers can be installed that way.

You saved me buying a new scanner.
