Thank you! I shall psyche myself up to trying my old XP CD. Having to disable driver signing on Windows 10 sounds a bit scary though.
If I need to try one of the drivers on the scanner website, I presume that the XP one would be a better bet then the Vista ones. Am I correct? Also, (if that doesn't work) I don't know whether, with a 64 bit computer and (what I presume is) a 32 bit scanner I would be better off trying the 64 bit Vista driver or the 32 bit one.
Sorry for the extra questons but I'm quite nervous about messing up this computer.
