- Thank you for trying but still cant download. OS is Vista and it is not included in the choices. Canoscan D646Uex is also not in the list only Canoscan D646U.

- Thank you so much. I bought it separately. Will there still be solution to it?
Using the Windows XP driver MAY work. However, the D646Uex is not officially supported in Windows Vista. There is apparently some functionality limitations that prevent it from being officially compatible.
use your XP driver first to install the scanner, windows will install the driver. then appear message saying it won't start or something like that. ignore it, then open the device manager. you'll see the canoscan is marked...click it, then update the driver automatically using internet...
the driver will be updated then your scanner will work just fine. i just installed it in my vista SP1...works perfectly as it should

from the official windows site: cano scan 646 doesn't work with vista. So buy a new scanner or ask canon for a solution

I have a CanoScan D646Uex. It worked just fin on my old (5 yr old) Dell. I have a new Dell running Windows XP. I lost the utilities disc, so I downloaded the driver and when I attempt to intall it, I get "The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software." I have tried using the advance setting and going directly to the file where the downloaded driver was placed and it will not open the file. I deleted the file and tried downloading it from two different sources with the same results. It seems with out the CD I can not install it. Does anyone know where I can get a CD or how to solve my problem.

Hie - I've searched the net and am unable to find a D646U ex driver for vista. Feel like throwing out the vista OS and using the previous one as nearly my gadgets are uncompatabile, etc.
Can Microsoft do something about this ?? Regards - philip
