John, Cari, Richard,
Thanks for your input to my troubles. Formerly I had a Dell XPS computer with Windows XP, an HP psc 750xi printer that had a scanner and I used this Canon CanoScan 9950F scanner to scan hundreds of photographic slides onto my computer. No problem. In the fall, due to lack of memory, I bought a Dell XPS 630i computer with Windows Vista Home Premium, and also an HP Officejet Pro L7590 All-In One Printer. Due to other problems trying to get a Sony Turntable to work with this system, I had not hooked up my Canon scanner to try scanning again. Canon does not make or sell this scanner any longer but they have put out software to supposedly make it work with Vista. I spent more than an hour on the phone with Canon to try and install this new software the other day and with no success. I have contacted HP and they say I can't disable the Fax function on the new printer. I still have hundreds of slides, some more than 50 years old, that I need to scan and download. I thought I was improving my system by increasing my memory capacity but in so doing I have apparently shot myself in the foot and can now not scan any more slides. I am thoroughly disgusted with Windows Vista since everywhere I seem to turn it gives me more problems.

Simple test... uninstall the HP and disconnect it. Then connect the Canon and restart the computer. See if installing the Canon software works now. If it does, you have the answer. Assuming the Canon works and that's the device you want to use, reconnect the HP and hopefully only the HP fax is disabled.
Another thought. See if in the HP setup you can disable the fax function. If so, do it and then try installing the Canon.

I want to use this scanner on my new Dell XPS computer with Vista Premium Home Edition. I have talked to Canon and they downloaded the new Vista compatible software for installation of this scanner. However, when we try to install this software, the scanner is not recognized and does not show up as new hardware. I have a new all-in-one HP printer that also has a scanner. The printer works OK. Canon thinks there might be a conflict with the printer scanner and the Canon scanner causing the non-recognition of the Canon scanner. Canon says they can do nothing for me and I will have to go to Dell to get them to see if there is a computer problem. Has anybody out there had such a problem and is there a solution?
