Wait, are you using NOD32 or ESET Smart Security? (two different products, NOD32 has no firewall)

I have a LIDE80 and I cannot get it to work with other software other than the Canon Toolbox in Vista and that is the 32 bit version. Other applications detect the scanner driver on a clean install, but disappear after the first reboot.

re: This is my Windows 7 Start Menu..

I agree--I wish this option were left in Windows 7. I know I've read many posts telling "old timers" to "get with the times" and not make Microsoft "maintain old code/features", but I think the two start methodolgies would/could serve different functionalities for me. The "Classic" style is like going to a bookstore--I may be looking for a specific book that I know the author/title of, I may be looking for a book I may know the author of, or the category (sci-fi, business, whatever) but don't know the full title of, or I may just be browsing to see what catches my eye. The "Windows 7" style is more like shopping for books on Amazon--harder to "browse", but powerful if the search terms are well indexed.

An example--I have my development tools all in a "folder" in my classic start menu (I also have this set up as a toolbar in the taskbar). I just looked in the Windows SDK entry and discovered under it that it included a WinDIFF program I didn't even know I had (I installed the SDK package, not the individual applications). Or maybe one of my weather applications I don't use that often--is it under "Digital Atmosphere" or is it under "DA"? I haven't used Windows 7's start search thingy, only seen it used, so maybe it has ways around it, but I don't see how it can give me what I want to have. (An example from the Apple world: Apple introduced "CoverFlow" to iPods for folks who look for their music by flipping through their albums/discs/etc)

Maybe it matters whether you're more visual or more verbal?

BOUGHT NEW HIGH SPEED COMPUTER AS THE OLD DELL WAS GETTING TOO SLOW WHEN SCANNING IN HIGH PIXELS. NOW THE LIDE IS NOT SUPPORTED IN 64? AND CANNOT EVEN BE RUN IN COMPATABILITY MODE? POOR SUPPORT OF A PRODUCT BY CANON!

this worked perfectly for me. It's not unexpected because i had to go through a similar process to install windows XP SP3 on another machine.

I did not have the problem of needing to recreate user accounts.

thanks for the fix!
