I probably configured it to Nuance PaperPort 14 without thinking of taking notes. Both Canon and Win 10 8800F owners say 'It SHOULD work in Windows 10.' And, it does - just a bit weirdly.
The Canon forums make it clear that Canon never updated its drivers for Windows 10. It's pretty frustrating to have it slowly stop working until it vanishes all together on a brand new PC. The 8800F's driver history goes as far as Windows 7 or 8. Anyway, my CanoScan 8800f doesnt seem to including W10, the software program wont consider off the disc. Previously I was using it on a netbook with Windows XP and it ran fine. and many more programs are available for instant and free download. System Utilities downloads - CanoScan Toolbox by Canon Inc.
So I tried running the scanner again, and the same problem: All scanner software claims there no scanner/ no twain source. Download canoscan software for windows 10 for free.

Photoshop is telling me that there's no twain source for it. Today I'm told that I don't have a scanner plugged in, even though Windows beeped when I turned the scanner on. But to be on the safe side, I downloaded the latest drivers and user software from Canon and updated. The scanner via Vuescan, and that worked fine. Last night, it failed to load the user interface, giving me an error message I wasn't able to understand due to the language gap. It seemed fine for a couple of days, but then the scanner software started taking a long time to load up. (It's in Japanese since that's where I live.) After installing a copy of Photoshop cs2 I started to use my Canoscan 8800f with it. I've recently bout a Sony Vaio with Windows 7 64bit installed.
