Re: Problem installing Canon printer in Vista Ultimate 64 bit

Peter,

Yes I had installed version 1.16 (although the icon on my desktop just says
1.1). I did uninstall and use your link and re-downloaded but still get the
same Error Message stating "The scanner driver supported by this software is
not installed, Install it then retry". I see from your link that are
higher (newer) Vista versions i.e. Vista 64 2.02 tried them but no luck
either.

Thanks anyway.

Steve
