Visit http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0000466.asp to download the Windows Vista drivers for the Canon CanoScan LiDE 30.You can try installing these using compatibility mode by right clicking on the downloaded files, and selecting 'troubleshoot compatibility' - select the option for 'worked in a previous version of windows' and then select vista

If this does not work, you should extract all of the downloaded files, press start, right click on 'my computer' select 'properties' and then click device manager. Right click on your unknown device and click 'update driver software' and then choose your extracted files to scan for the driver

I'd try the Canon web site, follow links for support and/or downloads, see if there's a Mac driver.

window 7 software is not yet available from canon
you may double check from "http://support-sg.canon-asia.com/P/search?category=Scanners&series=CanoScan+LiDE&model=CanoScan+LiDE+30&menu=Download&filter=0"

There is no upgrade available that goes from XP to Win 7, just from Win Vista. There are additional machine requirements as well. Hope this helps!

This worked for me: 1) use this link to download the Vista drivers from Canon http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=351&modelid=6623

Download the drivers to their own folder, the right click the install file and select "troubleshoot compatibility"  then click "try recommended settings" a "Start Program" button will appear. click it and watch the taskbar for the UAC icon to flash asking you if you want to allow the drivers to install. Click OK and follow the instructions. Your scanner should work if you follow the set up instructions correctly. 

Hope this helps FixYa!

Was it all working OK before you upgraded from VISTA? If yes this sounds like a driver problem. Visit the cannon site and download their latest drivers for Win 7 - that is if there are any yet. As an early adoptor of Win 7 you can expect to have issues with hardware drivers where manufacturers have not yet developed them for Win 7. Once Win 7 has been out and about for 12 to 18 months most manufactures will have caught up and issued new drivers.
