I don't think they made any since it's an older scanner. But using the proper Vista drivers should work as Win 8 and 7 are direct derivative from vista

As long as it doesn't involve the usual e-coli infection details, we don't mind ;)

Thankfully i had a whole two weeks of trouble free bowel movements.  I was expecting the worst after a dodgy looking thali on the train to hampi and after a greasy looking chana puree,  but ol' guts of iron came good!

I stick with Photoshop CS4 and Windows 7 because my scanner works. I tried CS5 and they got rid of the Twain support so I couldn't get my Epson v700 to work with it. So I just stick with CS4 since it does everything I need. Not looking forward to getting a new computer someday because I know Windows 8 is going to cause problems. They don't care about scanners anymore since most people shoot with phones.

Why do you think I'm keeping my old clunker?
Same reason. I'm still running a single core Athlon 64 and ye ole windoze XP and CS3. The only thing I did was boost the memory almost to the limit supported by the OS (3gb).
