| | Can't edit scanjet doc's in Vista I have an HP Scanjet 5470c and used it no problems til I got my new Acer Laptop with Vista. Now it says "not compatible". I have learned to get around it somewhat by not using the buttons in the scanner but I am not able to edit what I've scanned. I get cross hairs instead of curser as if it were read only. If I can't edit my scanner is of not use to me. Has anyone else had this problem? Please help if you can. |

| | Re: Can't edit scanjet doc's in Vista If you are using the printer driver that comes as part of VISTA HP have a document which says they do not work under VISTA with that driver. Since HP themselves do not offer a VISTA driver for what they regard as an old machine I think you just have to live with it so far as the scanning is concerned. What do you mean by Quote: > I am not able to edit*what I've scanned. edit the text you see on the screen except in a photo editor. Your scanner may have come with what is called OCR software which converts images of documents into editable documents but that is a separate, third party application that may have come bundled with your scanner -- and very likely does not work under VISTA. |
