[filmscanners] Re: Nikon LS30 & Vista

["David" <david.jc@blueyonder.co.uk>]

No I installed vista ultimate 32bit not 64bit.
Even my old flatbed Epson perfection 1200 installs from the disc, twain
works perfectly in Photoshop.
In device manager the SCSI controller has the exclamation mark showing and
no amount of trying to install any Adaptec driver ( as for XP ) will work.
As you say Laurie, Vista just doesn't recognize the SCSI card.
I've found that for most things that Vista doesn't like, by installing in
compatibility mode, seems to get around them.

You guys here were my last resort !!!!!

David.

As a note, at this point in time, there are little by way of drivers for
scanners (or printers, for that matter)  on the market for Vista X64 OSs -
or for that matter XP X64 OSs.  As for ASPI Layers, Microsoft also is
displaying little interest in supporting them in the future - especially for
X64 systems.

I have been able to get a Umax Powerlook II SCSI flatbed Scanner to work
under Vista X32 using the  old XP X32 Twain driver that came with scanner
without problems; but that X32 bit driver will not work with an X64 bit OS.

I have to wonder if your X64 Vista system even recognizes the SCSI card -
let alone the scanner attached to it.  If it does recognize the SCSI card,
than the ASPI layer may not be the problem; the scanner driver may be the
problem, since it probably is a 32 bit TWAIN driver.  There never has been,
I am told, a 64 bit twain driver written for public release.
