Works fine for me... have you downloaded the Win 7 64-bit drivers from
the Canon site?

Chris (a different one!)

Try these:

http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/scanners/LiDE_series/CanoScan_LiDE_25.aspx?DLtcmuri=tcm:14-742704&page=1&type=download

and

http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/scanners/LiDE_series/CanoScan_LiDE_25.aspx?DLtcmuri=tcm:14-742684&page=1&type=download

They are the latest, and date from 2010. They're the ones I'm
currently using.

Is it attached to a USB port on the PC itself? ISTR they're not very
happy on USB hubs (not even powered ones).

Does it appear under Imaging devices in Device Manager (Control Panel
-> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Device Manager)? Try
'scan for hardware changes'.

When I turn the pc on, the Scanner clicks and the bar moves a little.
its seen by the PC OK , not by the canoscan toolbox or by the scan
program that is part of windows 7.

Hmm - not sure what else to suggest. The clicking and moving on
boot-up is hopeful, as mine does that, too. Oddly, Windows Fax & Scan
doesn't find my scanner, but CanoScan Toolbox certainly does.

The only other thing I can think of is to download the trial version
of Vuescan (www.hamrick.com) - and see if that recognises your
scanner. Again, like CanoScan, it works fine with my scanner.

The shortcut to mine says it's 4.9 - but whatever, it's what I
downloaded from the Canon when I installed Win 7 64 bit. (And that
was only a couple of months ago.)
