Vista - Visioneer 8100 USB Scanner

The subject scanner works with Vista. I had Vista scan for the drivers on
my XP partition where I had originally installed the scanner. Vista found
them and installed the scanner.

Thanks for this news. I will try this with my 8200.

Verified to work with Vista Home Premium x64:


1. Make sure your 8100 is unplugged.


2. Go to Visioneer's website and download drivers for the OneTouch 9420 scanner:

Visioneer OneTouch 9420 Drivers and Manuals


3. Install the drivers. Nothing will work... yet, don't worry.


4. Now plug in your 8100. You'll get a message saying that Vista wants to find drivers. Select "Ask Me Later" or just cancel.


5. Next, open up Control Panel and then Device Manager. Find your 8100 in there (probably listed as "Unknown Device") and then right click on it and say "Update Driver Software". Now click "Browse My Computer For Driver Software" then "Let Me Pick From A List Of Device Drivers On My Computer".

6. Scroll down to "IMAGING DEVICES" then find Visioneer, then you should see the "Visioneer 9420" driver. Select it. You'll get a warning from Vista, but continue anyways. That's it... everything should work.
