I have a life view and my computer is windows 7 and when i install my old life view it doesn't work i think my life view supports win me or 2000

If you scanner only has Win XP drivers, then you have only two choices as those drivers wont work on WIN 7. One is to buy a new scanner, as you have already suggested. The other is to create a virtual machine, load WIN XP onto it, and then install the scanner drivers on the virtual machine. This should work fine as I do it for a piece of software that only works on WIN XP, however it is a bit of a inconvenience to use.

Hi,

uninstall it from your system, then right click on the installer and click on "compatibility mode". Then choose Windows XP or Windows 2000. But that doesn't work all the time but it sure is worth to try!

Sometimes you can use the Vista drivers for a device. Need more info, drivers 32 or 64bit?

Hi
This laptop was not designed to be supported by Windows 7. After Looking on the internet for a suitable driver, there appears not to be one that will work with Windows 7 and the Vista driver will not function under the Win 7 OS. I think that you may have to consider getting an external webcam for this laptop :-(

I think this is a common problem as Vista does'nt support many games and softwares...........Its better to use Win 7 friend.........

There are no available drivers for win 7. I suggest you to use the winXP drivers (compatible for win98, 2000, vista etc) here is a link to download the latest version at any language you wish. After the download finish extract the downloaded zip file, right click at the s14a_enx fil, choose properties and go at the compatibility tab. Check the box for compatibility with win XP sp 3 and hit apply - ok. Run the s14a_enx fileand follow the on screen wizard. In case installing the drivers this way won't solve the problem, sorry to said, but you need a new win 7 compatible scanner.

In case of a problem or clarification or further details needed, don't hesitate to post me a reply before rejecting my answer.

Hi,

Yes the Sony should run Win 7 although its designed for XP. For Win 7 to run properly you will need to max out the memory to 2GB.
I have installed Win 7 on plenty of older laptops without any problems. You won't be able to use the aero glass features (see through taskbar and window borders) as the graphics chipset doesn't support that feature but everything should work well once you have enough memory installed.

I think your adapter doesn,t support Win 7.Also i note that your adapter model is F5D5050.

Your device might not have windows 7 support, have you checked your computer manufacturer to see if they have updated windows 7 drivers, alternatevly try a windows vista driver if you can't find a supported driver for windows 7
