I keep an old laptop around running Windows XP Pro with the scanner plugged
into it. I then remote to the laptop to use the scanner (though I could use
the laptop directly). I save the scans to a shared network location which is
on my Vista computer.
This setup is close to actually having the scanner running on my Vista
computer. The XP application for the scanner works as expected and the scans
show up on my Vista computer. I could of course scan directly to the laptop,
but the hard drive fills up quickly and I would have to do an extra step of
copying the scans to my main computer.
In Vista I can use Windows Live Photo Gallery to stitch my scans together
into one nearly perfect seamless scan. This works great for some items that
require 8 scans to capture the whole large area, 4 per side. I select the 8
images and let Windows Live Photo Gallery do its thing, unsupervised. Works
great.
