| | Re: WFS fails to start My day job leaves me no time to play with and evaluate whatever third party options are out there. I figured that if it was too big a job for the developers, it is most certainly too big a job for me. I consider it a triumph when I can get my VHCL approved analog fax modem and VHCL approved scanner to work with WFS. I strive for nothing more. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Tom" <none@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uwDxFemlIHA.3400@xxxxxx Quote: > So, are there standalone scanner programs that aren't the hogs of the AIO > software but that would work with AIO device on Vista?

| | Re: WFS fails to start Thanks, Russ. For anyone else looking for a scanning solution on Vista of All-in-One scanners (which apparently aren't supported by Vista's WFS), I just downloaded and installed a program named VueScan that works fine with my HP All-in-One.
