HP Scanjet 5470c  

XP Mode in 64bit 7 ... is 32bit

Still no?

That would require me buying Ultimate 'just to see' if something works.... wow, how helpful

I think if need be i will set up a duel boot of XP and 7.

Its not my scanner, the person who owns it likes it a lot.

I have Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit installed. For about a month I have been searching for a way to make my hp scanjet 5470c work. Several days ago I read a response to this problem in another forum. The solution was to download a shareware program called FreeKapture, install it and the scanner should work. Having tried everything else that sounded resonable, I gave this a shot. Immediately Precision Scan Pro 3.1 and my scanner began to perform as it had for years in XP. When you start FreeKapture and click Scan a window comes up in which you need to select precisionscan pro. After that use precision scan as you have done in the past.

This worked for me and is a lot better than discarding a great scanner.

Sounds good and reasonable. Thanks will give it a try.
And yeah it's a great scanner, nowadays scanners are much badder especially for non flat objects so it would be insane to just throw it away.

HP Precision Scan 5470c and Windows 7 Professional x64 DOES WORK

1.) I installed Windoes Virtual PC
2.) start XP Mode
3.) in Virtual PC: Install Software from CD
4.) Un/plug USB-Cable
5.) in Virtual PC-Menu-Bar: USB: enable HP Scanjet 5400c Series
6.) Un/plug USB-Cable
7.) XP: --> new Hardware Found
