Scanning in Vista

Got WinVista 64Bit.
Got a Canon scanner.
Scanner is recignized in WinVista Device Manger,
but not in Vistas Fax & Scan, and not in VueScan.
The scanner only works in Canon's own program, CanoScan.
Canon support says, it's not their problem. They delivered
a scanner, program and driver that works together.
So, it looks that Canon-owners is stuck with Canon's scanner-program.

Regards, Kim

At least it works!

That's right :-)

Rgds, Kim

I went to driveragent.com and discovered drivers for another brand of scanner that wasn't working. Now...it works. Give it a try!

Searched the database for "Canon" and Vista 64Bit.... No match.
I won't install any ActiveX object from a site that i don't know. Thats
why I did it manually.

Kim,

you have.

Robert

Yes. Have tried without the toolbox. The toolbox is the
only program that recognize the scanner although it appears
in the device manager.
