I had gotten a Visioneer 8700 USB scanner working with Vista RC2, Ultimate version. I've installed it twice under different circumstances. The first time I did a clean install to an older computer. I no longer have it installed, but my recollection is that it scanned in the Windows scanner application. The 2nd install was on a new computer, and I did an upgrade install with the previous Visioneer and Paperport scanner applications installed. I also no longer have that installed (waiting for the final version to arrive), but the scanner was working using the paperport application. I was surprised, but glad. "bubba"

I have purchased three or four Visioneer scanners over the last seven years (they flow to family members as I upgrade.) My current scanner, the Visioneer USB 9420, would not work with Vista (but I knew this going in because of the Vista Upgrade Advisor.) I have been checking for Vistacompatible drivers, hoping they would be released shortly after the late January consumer rollout of Vista. Then I read that Vistacompatible drivers will not be available until maybe May. Couldn't wait that long.So I bought an HP Photosmart C4180 and downloaded the full Vistacompatible software for it and am able to scan again. I do miss PaperPort, though (that was why I stayed with Visioneer each time.) I have PP11 on my list of things to buy when I earn some extra money ... but for now, with no drivers coming for several months, and no guarantee that mine would be among the models supported, I had to do something else.Best of luck ... Visioneer scanners with PaperPort is a hardtobeat combo.vanilla bubba said ...I am trying to use my Visioneer Scanner with Vista Ultimate with very bad results.
