Windows Vista and Paperport 11

 

At Last! A working version of Vista and Paperport! I tried a LOT of combinations, patches, fixed and all of them failed. BUT, an expert in the software showed me how it could work, and it works really well. We used a Visioneer Strobe 220 and Paperport 11, (clean install, no upgrades or previous versions left on the machine).

There is a little bit of awkward clicking when you try to set the scan mode to something different but once you understand what it is asking you to click…it is fine. Setup and calibration went fine and poof, a working document manager and scanner that takes up very little space.

This was the longest part of my beta testing with Vista, by far! Glad to see the folks at Visioneer/Nuance producing beta and final Vista drivers, long over due and very appreciated!

Now I need to scan about 5 billion pages that have been sitting on my desk waiting for this solution….

    I am finally thinking about testing out Vista on my notebook. . .got vista upgrade when I purchased it. . .and I depend on paperport as well. Unfortunately. . .that is the most expensive part about upgrading. . .because it looks like I will need to replace the scanners as well (have Strobe Pro’s). It looks like you gave up on the XP 200 with beta drivers. . .and got the XP 220 working. . .any tips on the process. . .you didn’t give any details and I can’t find an email address to write you at. . .

    I could not install PaperPort 11 on my new HP with Vista. Norton seemed to be the major problem. I uninstalled Norton and used my old regular Zone Alarm. I got a lot closer but PaperPort complains about two processes (HP Button Service) and Intel Alert Service and will not install. I have sent two messages to Nuance asking for help but apparently they are going to ignore this.

    If I could find and safely kill the two above processes, apparently I could get an install. Any ideas?
