There's now an official Vista driver on the Mustek web site (so probably no-one will read this!) but I found it seriously messed up "PC Suite" software that comes with Nokia Series 60 Smartphones. Uninstalling, or even going back to a restore point didn't help - I had to reinstall Vista! So be very careful about using V1.0 of the Vista driver for A3 USB scanners.Phil McKerracherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03034918589788875309noreply@blogger.com
