Mine works fine but had to learn I needed to keep the scanner on while downloading the memory card.

You're not connecting via a Wi-Fi network, per se. The user's manual provides you with an IP address. If you put that in any browser, while the wand is on, you can see and download whatever you've scanned.But don't do that. It's a waste of batteries, so is connecting by USB. And this thing eats batteries. It actually recommends leaving the batteries out of it when not in use.Most computers come with SD card readers now. The micro SD card you're using came with an adapter. Use that to dump your scans directly onto your computer.Then your OS doesn't matter.

You should have a lenovo app that would guide you through the connect wizard which is similar to windows. You can get windows to connect for you instead but it is not recommended. Look down on the right corner of your task bar and look for the app. If it has been disabled, then try using Windows connect genie. Try not to get a conflict with Lenovo's app. One more thing, very important....Make sure the radio switch has been activated:-)

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate and the scanner works well. I also use ReadIris Pro 12 software and it functions correctly.

I've never been able to get the scanner working. I sent it in for warranty and they returned it without my owners manual. I'm dead in the water.

Because it did not work with windows 8. You will have to ask the manufacturer why it does not work.

You have to have the scanner connected to a computer in order for it to work. The software to operate the scanner is loaded on the computer. The disk for the software comes with the scanner. There is a cord with the scanner to connect it to a USB port on your computer.

With my dealings with VuPoint scanners I would suggest you throw it away and buy a better one (more money, but worth it) that has a driver for Windows7or8. Quality copies were rare with my VuPoint.

Yes, It may or may not. It connects to your laptop with a usb. It works on Windows 7 but not swiping with Windows 8. It may say in the instructions which I don't have.

As with others, I do not use Windows 8 but I have been using the scanner on Windows 7 problem free. There have been no problems and there are periodic updates for the scanner. Suggest you ask HP directly.

Yes. I run Windows 8 and it works fine. The scanner actually works, too, which seems rare on a value machine.

The scanner does not have a wireless network card. It was probably made before manufacturers started putting wireless network cards in peripheral devices like scanners and printers. It does work via USB and there may be a way to plug it into a wireless usb hub that connects to your wireless router. I am not sure about that though.

I'd expect any reasonably new scanner to work with the Dell and Windows 8. I have a Brother DCP Multi-Function Copier/Printer/Scanner and it works great!

Go to the HP website and search for the scanner. There is a drivers section and it is associated with your OS. there you will find the correct driver and SW Package to download. Good luck.

I ordered a refurbished version of the Snowball Ice and it did NOT work with windows 8.1, The new versions should work though.

I cannot get it to run with either Windows 7 or 8. It does not connect automatically like the ad says.

As far as I know, you don't need drivers for this, but even if you do need drivers, you might want to tell us what operating system you are using which doesn't appear to support it. My advice would be that if the device does not seem to work when plugged into one of your USB ports that you assume that USB port is actually broken and try an alternate USB port. In case you are wondering, while I repair crashed windows installations with some frequency, and know too much about windows drivers, I'm only using Ubuntu Linux now, it is free, and it does not need drivers even for devices, such as printers and scanners, that traditionally need drivers when used with Windows.
