I have a canon s9000 which ive used on windows xp. now i have windows vista on my computer, now the start up disk for s9000 will not work on vista. were can i get the start up software for s9000, so i can use it on vista.

Are you trying to install this OS (Operating System) , or is it already installed on a hard drive?
If you are installing it, make sure you change the boot order to the optical drive (DVD drive). If it's already installed, was it installed with an OEM disk? If yes, then you might need a new Windows XP disc. This is because, when using an OEM disc, if you change the hard drive or motherboard, it doesn't really work.

You can locate the drive here: http://usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/s_series/s9000#DriversAndSoftware
And yes, the drive should be all you require for installation.

Hi!

The warning that you received was an Operating System incompatibility driver. You must download the correct driver for the specific Operating System like Windows XP, Vista or Mac.

For Windows XP, download the driver HERE

For Windows Vista 32-bit, download the driver HERE

For Windows Vista 64-bit, download the driver HERE

For Mac, download the driver HERE

Note: In using Vista driver, you should identify if you are using Vista 32-bit or 64-bit. Go to Control Panel > System to check for version of Vista that you are using.

The links contain the software and driver for your printer.

Good luck and have a nice day!

Unfortunately you cant use a vista restore disk for a XP operating system.

You could install vista on it and then use XP compatibility mode for whatever programs you want to run. Simply right click on the program and select the compatability tab..change to XP.

really , a Linux system wouild be easier to auto-configure

Boot to Vista. Then

• click the "Advanced" section (Vista: on the left side bar).
• In the section that says "Startup and Recovery", click "settings".
• Under "Default operating system", choose "Windows Vista".
• REMOVE the checks next to "Time to display list of..." and "Time to display recovery options..."
• click ok to everything.

Now you will need to remove Windows XP.
IMPORTANT: for the next step make sure you boot to Windows Vista. Otherwise you could corrupt your computer.

• Go to "Start", "Control Panel"

I have the solution. Download the XP driver from the Australia canon web page. Extract the file with rar or winzip and install the driver from the device manager. Choose the option where you can designate the folder where you extracted the files to and your up and running!! It works just fine!! [email protected]
