I know EXACTLY where you are coming from. I was so worried about the same thing. My new computer has Vista. I tried running my old 3.0 version on it and it crashed my whole system. After I got my computer up and running again, I called Adobe 3 times asking about the 5.0. I was worried that my it would crash my system again before I could download the patch, and the cost of the new program would be a waste. They kept saying it would be ok. Well, I held my breath and tried it a few days ago. And it is up and running fine. Isn't the new Vista such a pain in the butt??

I wish I could help you, I am using mine with Windows XP and it works fine with XP.

Yes, I'm currently using it with Windows Vista. I had no problems with installation.

It should work. I don't have Vista machine to test, but it worked fine with Linux, XP and Win7. This is just a switch followed by a standard USB hub, and it doesn't require any driver. The standard USB drivers included in the OSes just work.

Yes it is compatible with windows, not sure it will work with Vista or XP but see no reason it wouldn't. I myself have windows 7 but since it is compatible with windows I'm reasonable sure it will.

Have no idea if it would work with Win 8 or higher. works with Vista but isn't a great fit. Was really meant to work with Win XP. software comes with it. Downloads not available as far as I know. There has been some work done porting it to Ubuntu.

someone said the software for the old version wasn't working properly under vista. so i was trying to find out if there was an updated version of the software since that post and if it had addressed the compatibility issues

I previously answered about the CD. It will work with Vista as plug and play, but only on some versions. If you try cto load the CD, remember that all CD's and zip disks must be removed before you can start Vista or else you will be stuck in start. Let me know if you have any problem. Thanks for your question.

I had no luck with Vista or window 8, even though the specs show otherwise. Good luck

I am not sure Pat, I have Windows 7. However, I am sure that it works on all systems from 8 to Vista.

I used it with XP, so vista should work. I didn't like it because 1 feature was left off. Tools\options\view\save workspace [was left out of this version]

Does this work with windows vista? And maybe windows auto driver downloads from windows update can find the software/driver.

Yes, it does work with Vista but it helps to be a techie. It came with a Vista driver. I had to kill a Macrovision scheduler process(by id number) with the Task Manager to get one of the programs to install. The ArcSoft PhotoStudio help does not work with Vista unless you follow the error message links and install an old Windows Help program. Even with the help working, there wasn't much there so I couldn't get the program to stitch scans together correctly. The main reason I bought this was my old Visioneer 5800 didn't have a Vista driver. It doesn't seem to scan much faster. My scans have been at 300dpi so I haven't had a chance to see the resolution difference. Yes, it does work with Vista but it helps to be a techie. It came with a Vista driver.

No. It only works with Vista or Windows 7. I recommend the 64bit versions of those OSes. Jeffrey Tranberry Digital Imaging Product Development Adobe Systems, Product Manager, Chief Customer Advocate
