If it gives you certifcate error, your date/time settings are incorrect. Adjust date/time and then try accessing those websites.

If your Visioneer works just fine in Vista, give the original OP the web address of the driver you are using.:shock:

Hi there, I wanted to post here, and just in the case that someone else may come across this issue- I want to post how I dealt with this problem and how I managed to actually get the Driver working under Windows 7. Since I consider that Windows 7 is basically Vista, the solution I found for Win 7 ought to work for Vista as well.

I have a Visioneer OneTouch 8100 USB/Parallel Scanner:


8100_200px.jpg


I located the Driver on the Visioneer Support Website:

Visioneer OneTouch 8100 Drivers and Manuals

And I downloaded the driver for USB:

http://support.visioneer.com/downloads/drivers/8100/8100u.303110.EN.exe

What I did was this:

I had the Scanner already hooked up due to a previous installation of XP Media Centre Edition, so When I installed Windows 7, it obviously tried to find a driver for the Scanner. Since it failed, I then obtained that driver installation package from the Visioneer site. I ran the executable With the COMPATIBILITY options (Right Click on Exe - choose PROPERTIES, Then choose the COMPATIBILITY Property Sheet - Set up the Installer to run IN COMPATIBILITY MODE for Windows XP Service Pack 2, and under "Privilege Level" (If you are using Win 7) choose "Run the Program as an Administrator" - If you are using Vista and that option is not there, then just elevate the privilege level by right Clicking and choosing "Run as an Administrator". So I did all this, and the device then showed up in the Device Manager, but with NO DRIVERS installed.

What I did then was to "Update Driver Software" and I selected "Browse My Computer for Software" and I pointed it to "C:\Windows\inf" with Sub-Folders Included.

To my utter shock and amazement, all of the Visioneer driver files were IN the "C:\Windows\inf" folder - Or at least the INFs were pointing to the correct location of the driver files - And when it was done, I checked the scanner, and it actually worked!

So, I apologise for bumping an old thread, but no issue is ever irrelevant or "too old" to discuss further - Seeing as how I eventually had the same trouble with this device as "Smilez" did.


I hope this helps someone, and that driver links right to the creator's website.

If anyone needs further explanation on this driver issue, please feel free to PM me.
