Often Vuescan needs the factory driver to be installed. A few devices Ed can drive directly.
BTW, Vuescan under X64 is not all that stable. Expect a crash every other roll. It has to do with how X64 handles USB. In many ways, X64 is a really good operating system. Remember, it is Server 2003 kind of stripped down. But for non-server tasks, it does have it's issues. Also, X64 is a dead end. MS wants you to use Vista, but 64 bit Vista is a mess. As you probably know, there is a rumor that MS is going to replace Vista soon, i.e. it is like Windows ME (the minus edition).
