"
This product is classified as END OF LIFE.- Supported Operating Systems:
- OneTouch 3 - Windows XP SP 1 / 2000 Professional / Me / 98SE"
I'm afraid you are out of luck with the Visioneer.
DS Mobile 600 downloads has Windows Vista drivers available. You could try one of them.
NOTE: You must use the 32-bit driver if your version on Windows 7 is 32-bit or the 64-bit version if your Windows 7 is 64-bit.

2010-09-21 20:24I have an old Visioneer scanner. I installed an XP VM within Win 7 and connected it to that, works just fine. If you have Win 7 Pro, Enterprise or Ultimate you could install XP Mode and connect the scanner to that. If you have Home Premium you will need some VM software, such as VirtualBox or VMWare Server, or VMWare Workstation if you don't mind spending money, and you will need an XP license and installation media.
