please advise were i can get a driver. I tried the Visioneer site

Support Information:
Device Type: Scanner
Manufacturer: visioneer
Model: 8100
Interface: USB
Operating System: Windows Vista
Age of Device: < 2 years old
FCCID:

Find it on DriverGuide (http://members.driverguide.com/index.php?action=srch&sm=b&aax=&qa6=&qa5=17&qa7=1801&dp=2&qm0=8100&jmd=and&fzz=d) | Find it with Google (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=visioneer+Scanner+visioneer+8100+Windows+Vista+)

I doubt you will find Vista drivers on any site other than the manufacturers. The simple fact that it's not on Visioneers site is a pretty fair indicate it doesn't exist... yet, and may never. That all depends entirely on Visioneers decision as to whether they want to invest countless dollars to support yesterdays products.

Verified to work with Vista Home Premium x64 (should work for x32):


1. Make sure your 8100 is unplugged.


2. Go to Visioneer's website and download drivers for the OneTouch 9420 scanner:

3. Install the drivers. Nothing will work... yet, don't worry.


4. Now plug in your 8100. You'll get a message saying that Vista wants to find drivers. Select "Ask Me Later" or just cancel.


5. Next, open up Control Panel and then Device Manager. Find your 8100 in there (probably listed as "Unknown Device") and then right click on it and say "Update Driver Software". Now click "Browse My Computer For Driver Software" then "Let Me Pick From A List Of Device Drivers On My Computer".

6. Scroll down to "IMAGING DEVICES" then find Visioneer, then you should see the "Visioneer 9420" driver. Select it. You'll get a warning from Vista, but continue anyways. That's it... everything should work.
