Hoe technical are you computer wise?
One last thing that might be worth trying would be to run windows XP on your windows7 machine using virtualization software from Oracle, which is free
You would have to install XP onto the virtual machine, and set up shared storage for transferring files to the windows 7 end of the system.
I have not run this on a windows 7 machine, but I have used it to run a virtualized ubunto on an XP machine and have found the software very solid.
All the best

Looks like I'm going to have to spring for a new scanner, my
Canoscan D1230U just won't run under Windows 7, regardless of what I
do.
My HP Photosmart D110 printer/scanner works just fine and my trial
version of PhotoShop Elements 10 as well is IrfanView free version both
scan well with it, but it doesn't handle negatives, just single flat
sheets.
I have a limited budget and see that the Canoscan 9000F is selling for
cheap on eBay and I see that Canon says it handles 35mm filmstrips and 2
1/4 film strips but says nothing about slides.
Does anyone have the 9000F who can tell me exactly what the
transparency/film scanning section looks like.
I don't want to buy one of those production style scanners, just
something to get the job done.
I do have an alterative, which is to hook the scanner to my laptop which
is still running Windows XP, it's just a drag to have to do
that.
Thanks for any input.
