Installing Scanner CanonScan Lide 20

Hello

I upgraded my system from XP pro to Win7 64 Pro. My scanner is still resisting to is installation. Did not succeed yet

I downloaded the Win7 driver from Canon site, but drivers is not installing. No message, no result, nothing

Any help appreciated

That's because there are no x64 drivers for your Canoscan LiDE 20 scanner. Only x86 (32 bit) are available for now.

Thank you

So, it is not possible to instal it?

Only if you go to the Windows 7 x86 OS (32 bit).

Actually there may be a workaround. I have the Lide 35 and found a website that suggested I try the following, and it worked for me:

1) Go to the Canon website and look for the 64 bit drivers for the Lide 60

2) Download and Install the Lide 60 drivers

3) Open your Device Manager and look for your Lide 20 (if not plugged in, plug it in, it should be recognized but the driver won't install automatically)

4) Right-Click the Lide 20 and select Update Drivers

5) Click the selection for All Available Drivers and look for Canon Inc in the left column and look for Lide 60 in the right column

6) Select the Lide 60 and ignore any warnings about incompatibable drivers and *crossing-fingers* see if your scanner now works.

Unfortunately I've only heard of a program called Vuescan working for your scanner and W& 64bit but the program is not free

Hello Draceena,
