    First google hit I got was direct to the manufacturers site, which appears to work.

    Cheers but I'm lead to believe that the scanner is too old for Windows 8 - actually 13 years old!:(

    Yeah, when you upgrade your operating system, you typically lose support for older peripheral devices.

    A company is not going to go back to rewrite the software drivers for products they sold years ago. It would stop you from buying a new version.

    Maybe you could run from a virtual machine running XP, with VMware etc

    Does compatability mode not work in Win 8 like it does in 7?
