That's what I've been telling you -- how to get Deskscan 2.9 to work
under VISTA.

WIA is different and has its own method of talking with devices.

That is true normally with USB devices. With a scsi device it may be
different -- mine was attached and the scsi controller is detected
during bootup before Windows exists.

No 32 bit. I am not totally nuts.

I have an LSI Logic PCI card on my XP system and the scanner with
Paperport works like a charm. The same LSI card is in the Vista
machine. Vista recognizes the card and installs perfectly. On the Xp
system I use WIA: Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 5p as the scanner and
everything works. On the Vista box you only see Deskscan 2.9. The WIA
never appears.

Thanks,

During the setup I only had the LSI SCSI card installed. After the
card was recognized I shut down and then connected the scanner. When
I opened Paperport the only device available was the Deskscan 2.9. No
other choices. I guess when I get a new all in 1 printer the scanner
will be dumped.

I am looking at a Samsung scx-4725fn model.

That is the only device that is there so far as VISTA is concerned. I
find it does everything I need and the Copy Utility is first class --
better than I've had on many office copiers.

If you have the space I would recommend a printer and a scanner rather
than an all-in-one.
