Is the software that is included important? I have tried to install the CD that came with the Photo Viewer but it appears to run only on 98SE.I have Vista and another laptop that runs XP.I am having issues with setting up a slideshow. Is it possible to setup and run a slideshow without this included software?Thanks,Sharon Is the software that is included important?

You can also use the SanDisk without a Computer. Just plug into your TV or VCR's RCA jacks and go.-Mike

You just go to the SanDisk.com website and download the correct drivers for the Operating System you are using. It's FREE and will work for you.You'll love the machine once you get it up and running.Good luck,Mike

I have a win vista home basic and mine install instantly without the installation cd. maybe ask an IT person? Maybe you have a bad one? I usually buy several at a time since we get them zapped by lighting storms. If one doesn't work or stops working, I just grab another.

Plug and play. I have used it my old Windows XP and a Vista computer and a Windows 7 all just plug and play. There is software with it which makes it more versatile by giving you more options. I would recommend you install the software just for the optioms. I cannot remember if the software was on a disk or if it just installed from the camera. I have two icons on my desktop, one called Logitech Webcam Software and another called Logitech Vid HD.

Thanks Jessica. I'm not very good at setting up computers, etc. so I'm a little afraid of scanning but at the same time, I do want to get rid of all the photo albums onto DVD's. Do you think I'll have a lot of trouble getting up and running?

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.

I wish I could answer this question for you, My PC is running Windows XP Pro. The CD includes drivers for Vista. If you go to Logitech's website they may have drivers for windows 8. But all in all this is an amazing cam and works very well in low light and is extremely clear

So far mine seems to work fine with Vista. Vista drivers can be downloaded from Canon. On the other hand, Photoshop Elements 4.0 is NOT Vista compatible (though it working so far). Adobe does not plan a Vista upgrade. Scanners sold now should not be bundled with software that is not compatible with the current version of Windows!

comes with disk, everything you need. I ran the disk that came with it on my windows 8 laptop and my windows vista notebook put it in on both and it runs fine on both. cyberlink software . if you have the same luck I had. you will be more than happy. really good device.

Does anyone worry about buying netbooks and this computer and Microsoft ending support for XP like they eventually did for Windows 98 ? I would want 2GB of RAM if I ever had to install Vista...

I use Windows 7 Ultimate - 64 bit.But any version of Windows 7 will be great.I loved my Windows XP Professional version. But Win7 rocks! I mean it .....Windows Vista sucks. It always has from the get-go. I went from XP straight to Win7 and never lookin' back.I even prefer Win7 to Win8. Win8 is like a smartphone system.This LG drive works super great & I know it will for years to come. It's very quiet.I got it solely for it's Lightscribe ability. I already had the Lightscribe software, so this was a perfect choice.It actually was THE ONLY place I could find a SATA connected CD/DVD drive that ALSO has thecapability to burn images on the top side of the disc's with Lightscribe burning technology. I still highly rec' this item. I use Windows 7 Ultimate - 64 bit.But any version of Windows 7 will be great.I loved my Windows XP Professional version. But Win7 rocks!

What about the Media Manager program it came with? I still use it, it's kinda slow but I'm not tech savvy so it works for me. (I have Vista as well)

The manual states: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or later - 32 bit. So yes! I've enjoyed it--was able to scan pics from my mom for a 60th birthday celebration of her life. Did an amazingly quick job and the pictures were amazing. Glad to have so many of them digitized now.

you have both options. Mine came with a CD. Downloading online will give you the most up to date software.

I only have XP but as I interpret their specs, XP is mentioned only as a minimum requirement and to assure people with old systems like mine that it will still work. Surely it will work with the newer ones.

I was gonna say that! :-)It is possible to designate that the NXT software be run on Vista in XP compatibility mode. I'm not going to describe it here unless there is specific interest it going that way. The 1.1 version is worth the investment for other reasons, so it should be your first choice. The new software may even be included in the more recent shipments without the need to contact customer service.

I work with the developer, eMedia. It runs on computers that use Vista just fine! Sincerely, Ellen with eMedia Customer Service

Did you ever get an answer. I'm shopping for a new monitor and I really like what I have read so far except for one review that said it better with VISTA. I'm a true believe in XP, so if it doesn't work with XP, it don't need it. I would like your opinion if you are asking this question. What else other than price do you like about this monitor. I can't fnd anything about a USB port and is that really necessary. JimSpring, TX
