WIA Scanner

Hi folks
I have windows 7 and my scanner software will not work with it.  Does anyone know where i could get a hold of WIA software?
Thanks

Re: WIA Scanner

It is a mustek bearpaw 2448ta pro.  This is the second time I have installed win7, the first time I managed to get the scanner to work in a basic mode - I think it was a WIA application.
Thanks

I will give it a go. Thanks.
Mustek say they are not going to do a driver for this scanner.  It did work before but I cannot remember how I got it to work.

If you installed Windows 7 over your old Windows 7 then there may be a Windows.old folder with your old files in it so the drivers file you used previously may be there.  Or perhaps you made a backup of your old files?  Adiewoo seems to think you are too careless to have done that but I wonder if you are just not thinking through how to retrace the steps of what you did previously?

Re: WIA Scanner

Obviously not as they are here asking for help, so not sure of the point of your post exactly?

Re: WIA Scanner

This was one of the issues that made me drop M$ s/w, my printer & scanner weren't supported in Vista and wouldn't be, I wasn't about to splash out for new kit when the stuff was working fine. And still is  Cheesy
If it worked before I would do a google for "Win7 mustec bearpaw 2448ta pro driver" or similar
