Yes, after I deleted the old driver I installed the new driver and the new
Vista toolbox...

I am still trying to get this to work...
My Canoscan lide 35 worked fine on my XP machine. Now attached to my new
vistamachine it is not working. I went to Canon and downloaded files to
delete the old driver, install a new Vista driver, and install a new
Canoscan
Toolbox for Vista. I ran the driver deleter then the new driver .Exe file.
I
saw a few seconds of a file unzipping and then it was done. I could not
tell
if it loaded a new driver or not.
Still, does not work. I have unplugged and replugged the USB connection,
changed the USB location, and still it does not work. I get two error
messages; the first says "Cannot communicate with scanner. Cable may be
disconnected (it is not). Check Status. Scanner Driver will be closed".
When
I close that
message box I get "Unable to open TWAIN source, please check connection
then
restart Toolbox".
When I check the control panel, hardware. scanners and cameras, it is
listed
but in Properties it reads "unavailable". When I look under Device
Manager,
Imaging Devices it lists the Canoscan Lide35, and
the properties it says "this device is working
properly". I rebooted numerous times as I
tried the various functions...


Did you download the Canoscan Toolbox?

You should because the Canon Lide scanners do not work with Windows Fax and
Scan..
