Arne, Did you ever get filmscan to work...I have exactly the same problem running XP. It did work a long time ago, but I recall I was running Win98 then
If the light is not illuminating when positioning the lamp and the scan button turns grey (inoperative) the light source has probably failed in the cover. It is integral with the cover. Costs about $160 AUD to replace.

were you using it under windows xp? if you have 32 bit windows 7 I would try those same drivers. Unfortunately the filmscan 200 came out under windows 95/98 and so Epson never released XP drivers and some people were able to make it work. I would consider connecting it to an older computer running windows 98 and then transfer the files as you scan them (this would definitely be the least painful) If you have 64 bit windows 7 I would not even waste the effort, 32 bit is a long shot maybe. Do you have scsi drivers on the the windows 7? because the filmscan 200 is a scsi 2 device Good luck
The answere for me so far has been no. However I was successful with scanning in three documents for tennis scores today by installing the XP twain driver in MS Virtual PC in XP mode this installed all the drivers. But after the scanner powered down after timing out, nothing in my power could get it to work again for another document. To say the least I'm pretty Pissed about the whole thing. Knowing that as purchasers of these products were just left in the learch for upgrading to the latest version of windows and the manufacturer of the products can't be stuffed developing drivers for their products. Says a lot about Canon and their dodgy products and customer focus. Screw you Canon, I won't be buying your products again. Go with the times or get left behind!
you will be able to download the Software / Utility / Tools of your CanoScan from the link below, just select the Operating system where it will be instead (Windows XP, Vista, Mac OS X)
Let's face it, the D660U was released in September of 2000. That's nearly 7 years ago. You can say "Shame on all vendors" all you want. However, I'll bet that the computer you have Windows Vista64 running on is not the same computer you had when you bought the D660U. It's time to upgrade. The CanoScan 8800F is a great scanner. Amazingly fast too! Zero warm-up time. http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=120&modelid=15561
