Microtek does not provide 64-bit drivers for the ScanMaker series of scanners. (Evidently they expect one to replace a perfectly good, working scanner with a new model when one updates the OS.

But, it seems one doesn't have to trash his ScanMaker because the ArtixScanDI 1210 (Windows 7 64-bit) driver will work with the USB ScanMaker series of scanners; at least it works with my ScanMaker 5900, as well as the previously reported 3840 - I suspect it will work with others, too. To flesh things out: 1. Boot up Win7. 2. Make a new directory, say, 'scanmaker' (without the quotes). Download the ArtixScanDI 1210 driver: into the scanmaker directory and unzip the drvswdiv303ad.exe file into that directory using winrar or some other program capable of unzipping executable archives (DO NOT DOUBLECLICK THE FILE TO INSTALL IT).

Well, after installing the ArtixScanDI 1210 driver I was somewhat disappointed in its performance. 1) Although I could get my Microtek 5900 to work with IrfanView, it would not work with Corel Photopaint X5. 2) Compared to the ScanWizard 5 drivers (advanced mode) this driver proved to be bare-bones, at best. It ran the scanner - that was about it; no prescan adjustments were posssible. Consequently, I bit the bullet and tried to install one of the 32-bit ScanWizard driver packages to see if that would work. I downloaded the sw56650eu.exe package.
Double-clicked on it and it self-extracted to a new directory of its own. I entered that directory and double-clicked on the setup.exe file and the software installed itself in a folder in the Program Files (x86) directory. This driver works in IrfanView and in Corel Photopaint X5, and it is the standard ScanWizard software, allowing various parameters to be set for a scan. Hope this helps.

Key Words: Microtek ScanMaker Drivers Windows 7 64-bit x64 ScanWizardI know this thread is kind of old, but I wanted to say that I followed these instructions and this solution works for a Microtek Scanmaker i320 in Windows 8! In fact the Scan Wizard 5 software seems to work just fine. I am kind of amazed, but since we only scan like 1 page every five or six months at work, it's just worth investing in a new scanner.

I haven't been able to get my Microtek Scanmaker 3600 working on my laptop, which has Windows 7. It works fine on my old desktop which has Windows XP Home Edition. I went to the Microtek website and downloaded drivers and plugins for Windows XP since there is no driver for Windows 7 and I guess not for Vista either.
I then downloaded Main Installer for Scan Wizard 5 Version 6.32. I put the.exe file on my desktop. I right clicked on the.exe icon and under the properties/compatibility tab I selected Windows Vista one time, Windows 7 another time and even Windows XP service pack 3 another time. I clicked on apply/ok and then right clicked on run as administrator.
It then proceeds to install and the ScanWizard 5 icon and the Microtek Scanner Configuration icon appear on my desktop. I then plug my scanner to my laptop with the USB cable but the laptop does not detect the scanner automatically. If I then click on the Scan Wizard 5 icon to open it up but I keep getting a message from Microtek Scanner Manager saying 'Can't find scanners. Use scanner probe to find a scanner'. If I click OK it doesn't work.
I went to the properties/compatibility tab under the ScanWizard 5 icon and tried Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows XP etc. But nothing worked. I tried running as administrator and opening not as administrator but it didn't make any difference. I am baffled at this point. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Can anybody help? Looks like you overlooked the instructions posted on the Microtek website for installing the driver.

2 - Use to extract the contents of the. (Right-click the driver package executable 7-Zip Extract to 'drvsw5v632ad ' ) 3. Open the extracted folder, then open Disk1 folder. Now open Vista folder.
In case you are running 32-bit Windows 7, open the X86 folder. In case you are running 64-bit Windows 7 on AMD processor, open the AMD64 folder.
Have Disk browse to the X86 or AMD64 folder (depending on platform) and then select Miix86004.inf (for 32-bit Windows 7) or MiiAMD64004.inf (for 64-bit Windows 7). Install the driver.
Since the drivers contained in Vista folder are WIA and ScanMaker 5 is a TWAIN scan app; you will have to. NOTE: In case Add Hardware wizard does not help, repeat Step 4 - but this time select a different.inf file.
Keep selecting and installing different.inf files until you can scan from the scanner using Windows Fax and Scan. Looks like you overlooked the instructions posted on the Microtek website for installing the driver.
