Windows 7 Business and Ultimate are able to run an XP Virtual Mode machine. Once the app is set up on the virtual computer, it looks to the user like it is running in Windows 7. It is certainly worth giving a try on a test computer. It can help bridge the gap until more third-party products are ported over. The virtual mode is a separate download from Microsoft - actually two or three downloads.

We were able to control them with a computer application that allowed users to save, print, and or email (after saving) the scanned images. That was five years ago…Canon is not keeping up with the new drivers for Vista or Windows 7 so we are stuck in XP land with these. I guess I am looking to see if any others are providing the multi-functionality described above? If so, what brand of microform reader you are using and do you know if your setup will be ready for Windows 7? Thank you for any feedback. Steve Espinoza ********************************** Steven R.
