How do I open Visioneer MAX files now that I'm in Vista??? [email protected]

Hello ! I have the correct driver for the Visioneer 5300 / 7600 USB scanner. It will work with Windows XP and Vista. I can provide you a copy with complete installation instructions. Please e-mail me at: [email protected] , Subj: 7600 driver.

Go to site http://support.visioneer.com/products/home/EOL/Memorex/
Download/save application file 6142. Check file properties, under compatibility select "run this program..." and choose Windows XP(Service Pack 2). if u do not have a vista option
Then run the program.
Good Luck

I just downloaded the XP driver for this scanner from the Visioneer web site. It came with just the driver, as I recall, or you could order the replacement CD for just a shipping charge of under ten bucks. They may have one or two other programs that they supply for download, and they had links to third party vendors who supply the other software on the CD.

I believe that they had a Vista driver for it as well. 

I also downloaded the file--and I believe that it was larger in size than the Visioneer download--from driverscollection.com. I have not yet installed that download to see what the difference might be.

Here is what worked for me. I have 32 bit Windows Vista. I do not think that this will work on a 64 bit Vista, as I don't think that a 32 bit driver will work on the 64 bit Vista.

Go to this URL:

http://support.visioneer.com/products/4400/downloads.asp

And download the 4400.303110.exe file to your computer.

Next: Click on "Start Search", and paste in
"mshta.exe res://acprgwiz.dll/compatmode.hta" without the quotes.
This will start the "Program Compatibility Wizard"

NOTE: The "Start Search" will appear when you click on the round Windows button at the lower left hand side of your Windows Vista desktop. It's right under "All Programs". Just paste that command in that box.

Then, just follow through.
When prompted for the program to run, select
"I want to locate the program manually" and point to the driver setup file you want to execute, which will be the file that you just downloaded.

Under the page that says to "Select a compatibility mode for the program"

Choose: 'Microsoft Windows XP (Service Pack 2)'

You don't have to select anything on the "Select display settings for the program" page.

On the next page, select "Run this program as an administrator".

You should be all set to go. I did see one complaint about a missing dll file, but it worked anyway.

Many thanks go the the people who really contributed to this fix:

They posted a lot of good information on this Microsoft forum:

Hi! I have the correct driver for the Visioner 5300 / 7600 that will work with Windows XP and Vista. I can provide you a copy with complete instructions for installation. Please e-mail me at: [email protected]. Subj: 7600 driver.

here is my solution --uninstal the drivers form device manager unplug the power plug on back of scanner --go to visioneer website and get the xp driver for the 4400 scanner--save instead of running the download ---right click the downloaded installer and click compatable --make to run in xp mode and click OK--install the drivers as prompted when installed restart if prompted then plug the power back into the scanner----instal drivers as prompted --unfortunately --vista wont put the icon in my computer like xp does--the solution is to open program WINDOWS PHOTO GALLERY click file at top then import from scanner etc --the familiar page will come up with your scanner to preview or scan as you did before vista----this is the way i use it on vista home basic and i dont have any problems--hopefully you wont either

After downloading the visioneer 9420 driver file (found on the visioneer site, but before installing it, remove your old 8100 driver, then install the 9420 driver by running the .exe file you downloaded from visioneer. Then, use Device Manager, go to -update device drivers and in the listing you should see the 8100 listed. Double click on it, click on -update, go to -browse my computer for driver software, then go to -let me pick from a list, then you should see the 8100 scanner appear, click on it, click on next, and then it will install the 9420 driver. My 8100 is working great on a vista system. Don't get rid of that scanner! It works!
