1) did you save it and got the 'your preferences have been saved' message?

2) do you have cookies enabled?

3) do you have 'clear cookies on closing the browser' set?

It may be a non option in google chrome, I use SRWare Iron as it's the same program but without the bits that reports all your surfing habits etc back to google, I use FireFox as well.

I've found, e.g., that IE is more reliable when I'm doing my online

If you haven't upgraded your operating system to at least Windows
Vista, you'll not get IE9.

David

and I've read elsewhere that it will IE8 alone.

But you will get IE8 with XP and IE8 doesn't work for me with Inland
Revenue web site (among others). I've also experienced a raft of PDF
problems with IE8 (and 9). I'm now stuck on IE7 as it's the only one
that reliably works when Chrome won't - major issue with Chrome is
with copy and paste.

Some think that that's another good reason to stick with WinXP. If
you stick with WinXP your old PC and your old peripherals will still
work.

Absolutely! I haven't upgraded from XP because I have HP printers and,
despite what HP assure me, that their new drivers for Vista and 7 are
fully featured, they are not!

The Win 7 driver worked with my old HP printer, however there is no
driver for my Canon scanner, unless I buy one from Vuscan. My webcam
doesn't work with Win&. I can't upgrade two old working Dell WinXP PCs
because it isn't possible to put enough memory in them

Have you searched on the internet to see if anyone has managed to modify
another Canon scanner driver so that it will work with your scanner
under Win7?

Yes. I found many other people who had the same problem and an
explanation from Canon, that modifying their scanner was trivial but
Microsoft's fees for licensing their updated driver weren't


What model scanner are you referring to?

LIDE 30

There is a Win7 driver for LIDE 70

Have you tried installing the Lide 25 or Lide 60 Win7x64
drivers/software and seeing if those work with your Lide 30? It may be
that you can modify the driver file of the Lide 25. Someone in this
thread appears to know how to get the Lide 20 to work with the
25 driver:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...a-4d426d7cee9e

But you will have to know the correct PID number for the Lide 30
(available in the *.inf file you have in your old XP setup, perhaps).

But I am getting way out of my depth - the Epson driver mods were spelt
out clearly for me - even the correct PID was supplied. Still, it can't
do any harm to your current setup - it just will continue to not work!

VueScan supports Win7 obsolete scanners including LIDE30, but not
free.

Yes, I have tried Vuescan. Worked with the Epson scanner, but of course
leaves a watermark until you purchase it.
