TITAM - Technical issues that affected me

Problem:  You have an old XP (!) or Windows 7 box.  Teamviewer no longer supports your OS, and/or is endlessly bugging you with "Commercial Use Detected!" nag-boxes. Solution:  Try AnyDesk . Why? •  It's free. •   It has a portable version - you can try it without installing a thing. •  It works on old operating systems (including XP (!)) •  It's pretty nice. Some features are pay-only, any the subscriptions ain't cheap.  But, so far, I've not found anything the free version lacks that I need. This saved a very old PC of mine after Teamviewer stopped supporting old boxen.  I need this ancient PC to run a prehistoric printer, with neither being supported by newer software.  AnyDesk saved it when Teamviewer stopped connecting in v15. [Update]:  Another free option is RustDesk.  I've not tried it myself; here is an article about it .

Short answer:  It can't be done.  Do yourself a favor, don't waste your time. Long answer:  There is no Windows 7 driver for this scanner, and Fujitsu will never make one.  The 32-bit Windows Vista driver might or might not work for Win 7, but it has zero chance of working on Win7 64-bit, so don't try. You can run the scanner in "Windows XP mode".  Reports are that this is kludgy at best.  I did not try. If you search, you will find VueScan.  The software appears to be legit but does not include any device drivers, so it will not solve your issue.  I got suckered into trying the demo, and wasting yet MORE of my time. But it makes sense.  Q:  How does any company write 1000+ device drivers for hardware they didn't make?  A: They don't.  Without a driver, programs like VueScan are dead ducks, no matter what promises they make on their dodgy and overenthusiastic web site. I wouldn't be in this mess if my old HP Pavilion...
