Scanner Problem
My scanner (CanoScan FB 630U) won't run/install on Vista Premium,
incompatible drivers. Although I might get it to work using Vuescan, I'd like to know whether you can get Vista to run in XP mode for incompatible software. My scanning is very infrequent so can't really justify the price for Vuescan. Mickey |

Scanner Problem
Hi,
For starters, you can't use compatibility mode for drivers, just for software. If the drivers required to operate the scanner are not Vista-compatible, you aren't going to be able to use it. Unless Canon writes and releases them, there's not much you can do about it other than try the Vuescan software. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Mickey Mouse" wrote in message ...
