You need to hang in there. I called the US help desk early in the morning and got a really helpful guy. I forget his name or I would give it to you. He needs to direct you to a special hidden site which contains ALL of their downloads. He will create unique 1 time use ID and Password that will allow you to download the file. [I went back to the site a 2nd time later in the day and my ID / Password no longer worked.] You just need to get a hold of the right person to grant you access. Once you get the file it works like a charm. FYI ~ I did advise their technical department that the 300 driver works on a 64-bit machine and works perfectly with the S500. I wish I could email you the file but it's way too big 600MB+. PM me if you have any ideas. -- Joe Treaf |

I, too, have contacted Fujitsu to no avail. I was very polite and informed the representative that several users have reported success with the S300 software working with the S500 scanner in Vista 64-bit, and all she could tell me is she's not authorized to give me the S300 software. She said that only the S300 and S510 have Vista x64 support and all she could do was put a request forward to her boss concerning the issue. She took my contact information and said she couldn't make any promises so at this point I would have to say it's looking bleak. I wish I could even call back and say I have an S300 but I don't have a serial number that would pass for that unit. Why is it that this company refuses to help their customers who invested $400 per unit when clearly it involves no cost on their part? Just release whatever driver the customer wants if that's what it takes for the unit to function. I've bought an S500 for myself and several others for my clients but if I don't get any response from Fujitsu I'm going to have to say I will not recommend their products anymore based solely on their terrible customer support. Is this a way to force the S500 users to upgrade to another model? I can't imagine I would gain additional benefit between an S500 and an S510 minus the 64-bit OS compatibility and some additional software enhancements that I don't even care about. -- GliTCH |

just thought i'd post this here too for those who are searching... I just got off the phone 6:15 EST with a rep and he created a case number for my vista x64 and S510. He said they have created a proper download and driver but have not added it to the web site, yet. An engineer will email me the details of how to grab the file next… Seems like enough people may have complained… -- jethai |

I fail to believe that that's anything more than a line given by a tired staff / phone worker. I'll believe it when I see it!
