I have managed to install 'partial' CanoScan Lide 20 Photo Base 3 and Studio 5 in Vista from my CD but the toolbox is a 'no show'...to scan however, I open Studio 5,select File,from drop down menu,select 'Source' and then select 'acquire' the scanner will operate & then I copy & paste the image to word doc.

It works Ok but is painful ! HELP !!

Vista..Bahhh ! But I'm stuck with it !

cheers

Check Canon. But don't hold your breath- the peripherals industry are up in arms about have to provide drivers because of Vista. If the Scanner worked on XP/2000 it should have carried on. But no chance if it is one from the 95/98 era. I am not familiar with yet with Vista[perhaps never will be] but in XP under Start/Programs/accessories/ you would find a compatibility tab. here you can reset the system to run as 95/8- does such a thing exist with Vista?

have you checked the the Canon website for a driver update?
Failing that check with their Tech support about Canon Scanners and Vista.
