I have learned to untweak and default whatever settings I can before moving an operating system from a older motherboard to a newer one. Hope this might give you a few

Hi Marty If you have Win 7 Professional or higher you can install and run XP Mode. (it's a MS download) It Virtualizes XP and allows you to run anything that worked with XP. Just start XP Mode and instal lthe drivers under XP and scan what you need. Thats how I use my old flatbed scanner
