Now that they have acquired Sun I hope Oracle don't retire VirtualBox or change its freeware status. Sun did a great thing making VirtualBox freely available.
Canon mg3520 driver for vista install#
Software of course, unless I install that on the virtual machine too.Īt least now I don't have to go out and buy a new scanner. Voila! I can now scan on the VM to the Win 7 public folders. So I loaded the original Canoscan 5000f drivers, and the Canoscan Toolbox, on the virtual machine and then attached the scanner to the virtual machine. You need to load the VirtualBox Guest Additions to enable shared folders. The VM shares some Win 7 public folders via VirtualBox's Shared Folders. Luckily I have Sun's VirtualBox (freeware) running and I have set up a Win XP x32 virtual machine. At least then Win 7 recognised the 5000f but still I could not use it from within my imaging software. I loaded down the 圆4 driver for the Canoscan 5600f from the Canon support site and attached that to my device. Hi LexusLen I had the same problem with Canoscan 5000f and Win 7 圆4. What can I do if my hardware does not work? Thanks for your time and understanding!įor more details, please l ook at the first Sticky thread at the top of this forum. I suggest that you should wait for another period of time till the retail version is released and push the vendor company to upgrade their device driver. If the problem still persists, please understand that Windows 7 is a new operating system (only the beta version) and whole driverstore has been reprogrammed some old driver is not compatible with new OS.
In addition, you can use the Windows XP driver for testing. Remove and reinstall that hardware device in Device Manager, right-click on the driver executable/installer file and select the Compatibility tab click the checkbox before Run this program in Compatibility mode for option and select Windows Vista in the list-down box then try installing the device driver. I'd suggest installing the Vista driver in Compatibility mode.
