Can the Cannon people answer this question? I saw a box at a dealer that said it was compatable with Vista...no specs. show this. Is there a download available?

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 have win 7. But with the software it should support Win 8. The box says Vista and Win 7.

Update to my last post. It turns out the issue was with my antivirus not the scanner software. I got it installed and it is working great on my Windows 8 system.

Cannot comment on Windows 8, but works well with my Windows 7 64 bit and Outlook. Great scanner.

It works on both. I have it connected to one using Windows 7 Professional now. I had it on a desktop using Windows 8. It is a very nice and fast scanner.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium Edition. It worked with an upgrade CD mailed from Pentax. Just downloading the Vista driver did not work for me. You can order the CD (Free - you need serial number on scanner) at: http://www.pentaxtech.com/Support/Software/DSmobile/upgrade_cd.html

I never used it with Vista Home Premium, but Epson's website says it is compatible with Vista. But read this from the Epson web site about installing drivers:http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supAdvice.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&type=highlights&noteoid=86150. Says not to insert the install disk that comes with the printer. I would give it a try, as Amazon would let you return it if it does not work.

I'm sorry - I'm using Windows 7, so I don't know. But I really thought the scanner did a good job and was exactly what I wanted. Hope someone else can answer your question.

There is a 64-bit Vista driver available for download on the Brother (they produce the Pentax scanners now) tech support site. I emailed Brother tech support and asked about whether it would work for Win 7. He assured that it would. Hope that helps.

This will definitely work with Windows 7. I have these scanners installed on approximately 45 windows 7 professional machines.

I have the ittusb05 and it works very well on my Vista Home Premium machine. I did have to go to the software website and download the latest version.

Does this unit include software for Windows 7? I have HP 8300 scanner which conflicts with Windows 7 and my HP all-in-one printer/scanner

Yes, it does. I've been working with it on Win7-64 Ultimate since I got the scanner. However, I can't be sure of any other Windows version. The only thing I remember was that it was relatively simple to deal with.I reviewed this a couple of years ago... Here is a link to that:http://www.amazon.com/review/R6EAYR4W7LXXN/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm
