Windows 7 32 bit Driver for Mustek Scanner

[Mgoose]

I have a Mustek 1248UB scanner, previously used on a Windows ME OS. According to the Windows 7 Compatibility site this is compatible and, it says, will load the required driver on installation. It does not but advises that it cannot find a driver (automatic updates is switched on). Neither will it install from the Installation CD using ME or XP compatibility modes. Can anyone please suggest a solution. Regards.

The Mustek website shows Vista drivers (32 bit) which should work.

A lot of users are finding that Vista drivers work well for printers, scanners, etc. when no Windows 7 drivers are available.

Thank you for your advice, it worked perfectly. The only difficulty was downloading the Vista driver from the Mustek site, it was soo slow the connection kept timing out but succeeded eventually. Regards.
