Ex, I seem to recall there was another thread some time ago where VueScan was discussed, there were many positive views of it. I did download the trial on my Win7 machine but never got going with it, can't remember why.

Anyhow, I've decided to try it again under Win7. Clicked on my scanner make/model on the Hamrick site and it advises that I need a WIA driver for Windows 7 and provides a link. The link leads to Page Not Found. I'm left with trying to find a suitable WIA driver for my Microtek Scanmaker 4900.

Can't find one on the Microtek site and am now looking elsewhere. I wonder whether the XP one will work.

Maybe this was my previous hang-up and why I resorted to my XP machine.

Regards


Edit, found on a site:

To all here who want WIA drivers..

WIA drivers HAVE TO BE provided by the DEVICE manufacturer in order that a scanner will work with the 'Windows Image Acquisition' platform which Microsoft created for use in ME, XP and beyond.

If the DEVICE manufacturer does NOT release a WIA driver, the specific DEVICE will NEVER be able to work with the 'Windows Image Acquisition' platform.
So that's it then.
