<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">From the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/HP-ScanJet-5100C-Flatbed-parallel/dp/B00066G8W2">
Amazon review</a> “</span><span class="st">Buyer Beware. There are no drivers available for using this scanner with Windows Vista or Win 7. If you need a boat anchor, it's fine, but that's all its good for.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="st"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="st">However, I assume you knew this since you asked if anyone had created custom drivers for it. Sorry, wasn’t able to find any of those either.</span><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’ve also seen people suggest trying Windows XP Compatibility mode, but people didn’t have luck with that either. (But this is probably because the drivers were originally written for 95/98/NT and then patch
it up to XP - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfiLtWbEFM4">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfiLtWbEFM4</a> ) maybe you could try it with a Virtual XP instance. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Another thing you could try is using VueScan from
<a href="http://www.hamrick.com/">http://www.hamrick.com/</a> which supposedly uses its own drivers (caveat emptor I’ve never used it, but just read about it on a forum post).
