Vista Software and Hardware Compatibility

[Adrienne]

Can anyone tell me if the old version 7 of Paint Shop Pro can still be used with Vista Premium? I don't need it often, but it seems a shame to have to pony up for a new program if it's not necessary.


Also, I have been unsuccessful in making my old, but perfectly functional, ScanJet 5300C work with Vista. Are there downloadable drivers available to accomplish this? Thanks for any help you can share with me.

I installed PaintShop Pro 7 and have been using it extensively for about two weeks. So far, no conflicts at all with Vista, running as it should.

Try Paint.net. Its free, its very similar to paintshop.

Sorry, friend, you're out of luck. A quick search on the HP website returned these results: HP Products -  HP Scanner Product Is Not Supported in Windows Vista

I love using paint.net but I believe it is only available in 32bit and not 64bit, but it still works of course!

The latest version supports both. When I installed it (Vista64) it automatically placed itself in the Program Files folder.
