| Guest | would upgrade to Vista Ultimate allow me to use my scanner? Hi All, After many hours online with computer techs, it has been determined that my Dell AIO964 will not scan with my version of Home Premium and I will have to upgrade to Vista Ultimate for my printer / scanner to work. Is this true? I don't want to outlay this money if my printer scanner still will not work. Also, any scanners out there that work with Vista Premium or Ultimate that is not too costly? Thanks for any information! |

| Guest | Re: would upgrade to Vista Ultimate allow me to use my scanner? No, upgrading will not make it work. If the drivers don't support one version of Vista, it won't support another. They are all the same, just different features. There are a lot of scanners that work with Vista, just do some shopping and check the system requirements. Depending on your budget, needs and such, there are a lot of options. But, most options out there right now do support Vista with no issues. -- Dustin Harper dharper@xxxxxx http://www.vistarip.com | Vista Resource & Information Page <irishbymarriage@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:deb43127-081d-4612-b3d4-20e855e98f46@xxxxxx

| Member | Re: would upgrade to Vista Ultimate allow me to use my scanner? Scanners that Vork with the 32 bit version of vista may not have 64 bit drivers. So if you have Vista 64 make sure the manufacturer has 64 bit drivers. I had an older Canon scanner that only had drivers available for Vista 32 bit, so I had to buy a new scanner that had 64 bit drivers. Before I bought the scanner I went to the manufactures website to verify that I could download the needed drivers. |

customers using several versions of Vista and the scanners all work. The responsibility for the drivers lies with the printer manufacturer (in this case Dell since they use a rebadged printer), not with Microsoft. Someone else has recommended you look for an AIO that has Vista drivers. Good luck. Tony MS MVP Printing/Imaging | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Guest | Re: would upgrade to Vista Ultimate allow me to use my scanner? I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit and it supports scanning just fine....if does not fax....that may have been what he meant otherwise, he gave you bad information. BTW, I am using a Canon Pixima mp600 all in one. <irishwife17@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:a8afe83c-8acd-4c27-a704-155b5dc0033c@xxxxxx

| Guest | Re: would upgrade to Vista Ultimate allow me to use my scanner? Vista Home Premium does not include the Fax & Scan software (that XP did)... perhaps that's what the tech was talking about. I have Vista Home Premium, and a HP AIO 6110 printer/fax/scanner. I purchased VueScan to operate the scanner. It costs $40 USD, but has a free trial so you can see if it works with your scanner. http://www.hamrick.com/ -- http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview <irishwife17@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:a8afe83c-8acd-4c27-a704-155b5dc0033c@xxxxxx
