Epson Perfection 1240u in Windows 7

[ladyh]

My Epson Scanner doesn't work in Windows 7 (64 bit) and Windows update cannot find any drivers. Epson do not appear to have any drivers either. Can anyone out there help us? Thanks in advance.

Well, if Epson don't have any drivers, then there aren't any.

I think I read somewhere that its possible to run a virtual xp within windows 7 (MS download add in) and run your scanner from there.

As rojash mentioned if Epson have not issued '7' 64bit drivers your stuck.
But try downloading 'Vuescan' from here

It might work. If not it's a new scanner for you!!

Did you try downloading the 32-Bit Win7 compatible drivers? Certainly not guaranteed to work, but possibly worth a try?

[rojash]

You cannot use 32 bit drivers with a 64 bit OS.
