windows 7 I have found it both ways. Some people say it isn't compatible with windows 7 and others say that it is. What's the real scoop?

The 32 vs 64 bit distinction may be the source of this reported problem. It is very common for users to be confused the difference and thus trying to run 64bit programs on 32 bit machines or vice-versa. I do not have this scanner. I am just speaking based on my many years of troubleshooting other peoples problems with computers, programs, and peripherals.

The page on Amazon claimed it wad compatible with Windows 7.We were not able to install it so returned it to Amazon. Thus I can not answer your question. Sorry.

I can't definitively say yes. I installed it on windows 8 succesfully. People say it is not usable on windows 7 or 8 but I can say that is not the truth for windows 8, and logic dictates that the method for installing it on Windows 7 would be the same. It will not automatically find the drivers or even acknowledge it was plugged in. I had to go to the Device Manager see its error status, right click on it, choose update the driver and direct it to look at driver cd in my dvd rom. It proceeded to install and works well. So I cannot say yes with 100% certainty but using this method should work. I can't definitively say yes. I installed it on windows 8 succesfully.

Positive it does not work on windows 7. I tried the compatibility function in Windows 7 as well to have it configured under XP, still won't work.

I have never gotten it to work on windows 7. The software does not work on 7 only on older versions. I bought this version specially to work on win 7 and it doesn't.

The one I got from the guy on Amazon wasnt the right one. So be wary buying this kind of stuff here. Your better off going to best buy. And yes, it will work with windows 7.

The packaging doesn't mention Windows 7 since it came out prior to its release, but in answer to your question yes it is fully compatible. Generally speaking, if an application works on Vista then it should also work under Windows 7. Robert

I use it with windows 8, which usually means it is compatible with windows 7, since windows 7 is the more popular and more often used operating system

I have not tested. But I guess it is. I am using windows 7. I have used windows 8 on another computer. When you are under desktop, it is exactly the same thing than windows 7.

I couldn't get it to work consistently with my 64-bit Windows 8 Dell laptop. Rosewill said it was my problem since it worked with my Windows 7 machine. The box says Win 7 is the latest compatible version. I returned it to Amazon for another brand that was certified Win 8. Works great

I use Windows 7, so I am not absolutely certain, but I should imagine it is backward compatible. Check with Microsoft to be certain.

As far as I know, why not. Should be able to use either way in my opinion. We love Windows 7.

I have Windows 7, and it works with that. I don't know if it works with later versions of Windows.

I had no problem, mine was downloaded to windows seven and it works fine. Did you try downloading it manually, I am not that computer savvy, so I am afraid I am not much help, sorry

I honestly don't know. I have windows 7 and windows XP and it works with both. My friend who is a tech says it works with any windows software but I don't have first hand knowledge of that.
