How to Install Scanner ColorPage HR8 Geniuns 64-bit Windows 8.1
First:
Getting Driver Genius for Windows Vista
http://download.geniusnet.com/2007/Scanner/HR8_V.zip
Microsoft reports no drivers from the manufacturer, to try luck with the driver of windows Vista, but does not explain how to make it work.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-hardware/drivers-for-genius-colorpage-hr8-scanner/3026b412-09db-48de-8665-6d1dda37b11d
After you download the driver, you have to run the "setup.exe" in support "Windows Vista" mode.
But before you do read the following explanation because you have to do something else before I install it, otherwise it does not work.
As I said, after trying I did not recognize the driver, I tried to take the driver manually
but windows saying that the driver was not digitally signed and you can't install if driver is not signed.
I Search the web such as disable that control and found a step in the url:
http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how-to-disable-driver-signature-verification-on-64-bit-windows-8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
After following the steps I could install the scanner driver and HR8 works correctly in Windows 8.1
LAST:
Now you can run the setup.exe in compatibility mode with Windows Vista, at the end makes restart the computer,
Now you got the scanner Genius ColorPage HR8 running on Windows 8.1

I can not find driver suitable for scanner CP-HR7X to work in Windows 7 I am from Iran

Hello mahisa.

You may try uninstalling the existing drivers\software and install them in the Vista Compatibility Mode and check if it helps. To do so, follow these steps.
Right click on the setup file (setup.exe for the drivers) and select Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab and check the box which says Run this program in compatibility mode for. Select Windows Vista (Service Pack 2). Click Apply and OK. Right click the setup file and select Run as Administrator and follow the normal installation procedure.

I want drivers for Windows 7

Go here: http://www.geniusnet.com/geniusOnl [...] let-action

Scroll down the page until you see the ColorPage Vivid 1200x - try selecting the Vista or XP driver package and seeing if you can force it to work.

That being said I do not believe any of the Genius brand scanners are on the Windows 7 Compatibility List. ( found here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/c [...] s&v=Genius )
