Won't Recognize There Is A Scanner On It
Feb 6, 2009
I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit and just installed a new Lexmark x4650 all-in-one. I can print perfectly when it is connected wirelessly (through the printer's internal connection to the network), but it won't recognize there is a scanner on it. If I connect it via USB, it works. I have tried disabling both the firewall (McAfee and Windows) and the wireless router. I can't see to find anyone who can print but not scan over the network.

Not sure where to post this so here goes:
Can anyone comment on whether they think an Avast's AV scanner is any good.
I just got finished fixing a friends 2 month old Vista laptop that wouldn't
start up. I managed to boot it into `the last known good configuration' then
ran CCleaner, MBAM, SAS and Spybot. WU's were downlevel.
Just seems like with Avast running on this machine things got pretty screwed
up to the point where it wouldn't start normally at all. I don't think
Windows Defender was invoked either but it is now.

First I have a Gateway DX 4300 05 and one of my printer is a Brother MFC 7740N. This is a muilti-function machine. My husband's computer is a Dell E 310. Now, I tried to scan a photo on the Brother. I set it to scan to PC. So far, so good. (I've used this many times)But it didn't pop up on my pc screen. It popped up on my husbands screen.

I have downloaded Epson's Vista driver for my Epson 1660 scanner and carefully followed the instructions to install it. When I plug my scanner in, the Vista wizard offers to look for drivers but responds as follows: "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it".

Had to upgrade to a new PC, and most every new PC comes with Vista pre-installed, no options for XP. I try hooking up my 2 year old scanner - no Vista driver. I try hooking up a webcam a friend gave me - no Vista driver. So the whole purpose of upgrading to Vista was so I could go out and buy all new hardware!! This will be my last PC with a microsoft OS.

My Canoscan lide 35 worked fine on my XP machine. Now attached to my new vistamachine it is not working. I went to Canon and downloaded files to delete the old driver, install a new Vista driver, and install a new Canoscan Toolbox for Vista. I ran the driver deleter then the new driver .Exe file. I saw a few seconds of a file unzipping and then it was done. I could not tell if it loaded a new driver or not.
Still, does not work. I have unplugged and replugged the USB connection, changed the USB location, and still it does not work. I get two error messages; the first says "Cannot communicate with scanner. Cable may be disconnected (it is not). Check Status. Scanner Driver will be closed". When I close that message box I get "Unable to open TWAIN source, please check connection then restart Toolbox".
When I check the control panel, hardware. scanners and cameras, it is listed but in Properties it reads "unavailable". When I look under Device Manager, Imaging Devices it lists the Canoscan Lide35, and the properties it says "this device is working properly". I rebooted numerous times as I tried the various functions...

I just installed a new computer with Vista Office and my HP 6110 officejet all-in-one which was working fine with XP prints from the computer, copies from the glass bed and faxes. BUT, it will NOT scan. When I push on the scan button it starts and makes noise like it is going to start. When I go to devices on the control panel it says the 6100 is working. HP no longer offers help on this machine. I have unplugged everything and did it again, all to no avail.

Just thought I'd pass along some info I came across after setting up my newest 64 bit machine and connecting an older but definitely not outdated Epson Perfection scanner. I really love this scanner and it's auto-restoration features for older photos, so I was not willing to give it up. I found the following website with instructions for finding the correct drivers. Nafcom's Crap Blog!: Epson Perfection 2480 Photo: Vista X64 drivers work in Windows XP X64!
Apparently, Epson built support for x64, but hid the drivers within the installer for 32 bit systems. No search on any version of their support website shows driver downloads under 64 bit. I did what was described in that article, and have my scanner working beautifully on Vista x64. I can say that I downloaded drivers both from the European site as well as the U.S. site. The driver file each installs is no different, but the scan utility is a slightly different version. I went with the U.S. version in the end, it being what looks like a higher version number (3.04a instead of 3.0u... hard to tell if there's any real difference, as there was no language issues or anything).

After many hours online with computer techs, it has been determined that my Dell AIO964 will not scan with my version of Home Premium and I will have to upgrade to Vista Ultimate for my printer / scanner to work. Is this true? I don't want to outlay this money if my printer scanner still will not work. Also, any scanners out there that work with Vista Premium or Ultimate that is not too costly?

I have been trying to burn a clutch of photographs to a cd for the first time on my Dell Laptop using Vista. I am using old cds (CD-RW) that I know are free and I have been using them to transfer photographs from an older PC so I know that laptop is able to read the cds. I have had to use the old PC to scan the photographs as my scanner is not supported by Vista.
However, when I come to burn the photographs I get a message that windows cannot complete the format or it hangs after taking forever to try to complete the format. I have to admit I do not understand the process and thought I would be able to drag and drop as I have done with a flash drive. I did have Nero on my old PC but I cannot use that as I cannot get the photographs back to the PC from the laptop. I am fairly sure the old PC does not support a flash drive. Also the old PC does not have an Ethernet port.

Just for information, I have a Canon LiDE 50 scanner and it seems that Canon will not be making a Vista 64bit driver for it, as I'm presuming it's too old. Just tried to use the Vista 64bit driver for the Canon LiDE 60 scanner and that works perfectly.

I have trawled the net but cannot find a Vista Ultimate x64 driver for my Epson Perfection 1650 scanner. I used to run it under Vista Business x32 (for which there is a driver).

I run Windows Vista Home Premium (32). I've used my HP Photosmart C4280 printer for about 2 years, worked fine for the most part. Lately I started having problems, so I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver & software (got the latest versions from HP download site). Since reinstall, my scanner isn't working. Whether I press the "Scan" button on the unit, or I select "Scan picture" or "Scan document" from the HP Solution Center, an error pops up: "An error occurred communicating with the scanning device. Please ensure that the printing device is properly connected and try again".
I've downloaded and run HP Print Diagnostic Utility and it didn't find anything. Also, I've uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers/software several times, cleaned temporary files and registry, still the problem persists. Having said that, the printing/copying works fine, so I know that the printer is properly connected. BTW, tried connecting the same printer to a friend's PC running Windows XP and it scans with no problem, so the issue must have something to do with HP interacting (non-interacting) with Vista.

I have a Canon 9950F Scanner that I used on another computer that had Windows XP operating system. I want to use this scanner on my new Dell XPS computer with Vista Premium Home Edition. I have talked to Canon and they downloaded the new Vista compatible software for installation of this scanner. However, when we try to install this software, the scanner is not recognized and does not show up as new hardware. I have a new all-in-one HP printer that also has a scanner. The printer works OK. Canon thinks there might be a conflict with the printer scanner and the Canon scanner causing
the non-recognition of the Canon scanner. Canon says they can do nothing for me and I will have to go to Dell to get them to see if there is a computer problem.

Until recently, my scanner & camera wizard worked fine when I plugged in my memory card reader. Then it just stopped appearing when I plugged in the device. It just doesn't appear. I have seen other posts about changing registry entries, but I didn't want to mess with that until I was sure. How to I fix this so the scanner & camera wizard will autoplay?

I am running windows vista home premium and IExplorer 8 ..I have used the windows live safety scanner many times in the last year..The last couple of times I tried running it I got the following message. We're sorry. This version of the Windows Live OneCare safety scanner doesn't work with your Web browser or operating system. It goes on to say that I need to have windows vista and internet explorer.

I've tried until I am blue in the face. I can't get this scanner to scan using VISTA. It works okay in XP. I did get it to work once in Vista Ultimate, but after a crash I had to re-install Vista and now I can't get it to work. Several re-tries with different drivers and driver re-loads either produce no scanning at all or once or twice only partial scans of the source. So, I am frantically asking if anyone out there has been able to use this scanner under VISTA Ultimate? Maybe you can point me to correct drivers and/or information on this?

I have been trying to run Windows Live One Care Safety Scanner (beta for vista) I can successfully install and run it but when it performs the scan and it reaches 97% completion the program hangs. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software. I thought the problem might have arisen due to vista's securitythen reinstall th features so I first made sure to run internet explorer browser when I re-downloaded the scanner files. However, this has made no difference... the scanner still installs and runs but again upon reaching 97% completion hangs.
I am interested to know if anyone else has encountered this problem and better still if anyone knows how to resolve it.

I have Vista Ultimate and a new USRobotics PCI FaxModem. WFS faxing works fine if I compose the content of the fax in the WFS New Fax editor window and then click send. But if I try to insert an attachment - a PDF or TIFF document created with my Microtek scanner - the fax fails with an "Invalid Data" error message. Is my scanner creating a file that WFS cannot render? Or is there some other known issue with faxing scanned documents?If WFS is choking on my scanner's output, how do I know which file formats/types WFS can render and which scanners output acceptable formats?

I cannot install an Epson Perfection V200 Photo Scanner on my Vista Home Premium equipped PC. Epson technical support personnel have been zero. This is a new model scanner that is supposed to work with Vista. I have used the software disk that came with the scanner, and I have downloaded and used the latest driver from the Epson website. I have installed, uninstalled, and installed both of these numerous times. I always get the same error message......

Is there any way I can get Vista to not recognize a gigabyte of RAM? I'm having trouble with a game and I hear that to fix it you can't have more than 3 GB of RAM, and I have 2 2GB sticks of RAM and I don't want to run my system on 2GB.

All components are compatible.
