Canoscan Scanner Not Working on Vista (I hate Vista)
Mike, thanks much. I appreciated your interest and support in this problem.
"Mike Hall - MVP" wrote: "Polaris" wrote in message ... Mike & Squander, Tried LiDe 30 files, no go. Message said file may not have installed correctly did I want to continue? Clicked yes. Received same message as with LiDe 35 files. By the way, for what it's worth, Vista drivers, etc. for LiDe 35 work fine with WindowXP. "Squander" wrote: Mike and Polaris- As I mentioned in the original post, I downloaded 3 files; the driver deleter (required prior to installing new driver), the new driver, and teh new CanoScan Toolbox. No luck. Polaris- I'll let you know if I find a solution. Thanks Guys. "Mike Hall - MVP" wrote: "Polaris" wrote in message ... Mike, I downloaded driver file and the Canoscan Toolbox file. I executed both files without incident. I then received the message that Vista needed to install the driver. I clicked OK and after a few seconds the following message appeared:Windows found the driver for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. Windows recommended I contact the manufacturer for assistance. This is the same message I received several months ago when attempting to use LiDe 35 with Vista. Since your LiDe 30 works with Vista perhaps the '30' drivers would work with the '35' ?? "Mike Hall - MVP" wrote: You need two files from the Canon web site.. The drivers file.. lide35vst7700a_xpen.exe and the Canoscan Toolbox file cstbwin4512en.exe I have a Lide 30 which uses almost the same files, and it works great, but as I have already stated, is NOT compatible with Vista Fax and Scan. You have to use the Canoscan Toolbox.. -- Mike Hall - MVP How to construct a good post.. http://dts-l.com/goodpost.htm How to use the Microsoft Product Support Newsgroups.. http://support.microsoft.com/default...help&style=toc Mike's Window - My Blog.. http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx You could try it. The major difference in the models is one extra front panel button.. -- Mike Hall - MVP How to construct a good post.. http://dts-l.com/goodpost.htm How to use the Microsoft Product Support Newsgroups.. http://support.microsoft.com/default...help&style=toc Mike's Window - My Blog.. http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx The Vista/XP drivers appear to be one and the same. While I was beta testing Vista, the XP drivers for the Lide scanner worked well in Vista. The only thing is that Windows Fax and Scan does not work with the scanner.. I wish I could help you guys more, but I did nothing more than install the same files as you have already tried. Much as I do not normally recommend use of a registry cleaner, you may want to use 'Regcleaner 4.3' along with some very careful manual editing of the registry, removing all instances of any Canon installation, and then try again with the installation files.. -- Mike Hall - MVP How to construct a good post.. http://dts-l.com/goodpost.htm How to use the Microsoft Product Support Newsgroups.. http://support.microsoft.com/default...help&style=toc Mike's Window - My Blog.. http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx |

Canoscan Scanner Not Working on Vista (I hate Vista)
Have changed your Regional or Language Options??? I had the same problem, because my English Vista was in Czech Language and Region. Go to this page 'Photo Scanners - Color Image Scanner - CanoScan LiDE 35 - Canon USA Consumer Products' (http://tinyurl.com/35wd3t) !!! The 1. Choose Vista 2. Click to download the driver lide35vst7700a_xpen 3. !!! When it asks mark the Automatic Instalation icon!!! proceed, and it'll tell you where's the problem. So did it work for u as well as it did for me???:smile: -- tosmani |
