Scanners Supported in Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows 7

I have a HP Scanjet 5370c running on my desktop PC with Windows XP, and am planning to upgrade to Windows 7 when released.  However, while running the Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor Beta software to determine system compatibility, the report stated that the Scanjet 5370 is not compatible with Windows 7.  Further investigation on the HP website page entitled "Scanners Supported in Microsoft Windows Vista," it appears that my scanner is not supported in Vista either.  Does this mean that my scanner which functions great under XP has been made obsolete by lack of a driver which will run under Vista or Windows 7?  I like the Scanjet 5370c better than most newer scanners that I have seen, so it seems a real shame to throw out good equipment for lack of driver support.
This question was solved.

I understand your point, and it is a good one.  BUT it can cost the manufacturer sales of new scanners.
The Scanjet 400C, for example, was a very popular scanner.  By not updating it for Vista, HP turned its back on a lot of its customers. 
When I do buy a scanner to work with Windows 7, guess what?  Because of HP's behaviour, I'll be that much less likely to buy an HP one. 
I'm probably not the only person seeing things that way.

    This should get your itunes store connection working.
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    We'd better check on that, kris. If you enable iTunes in your Windows firewall, does that help with your connection? See the following document for instructions:

    i'm trying to load photoshop elements 12 on my mac os x and when i click setup.exe i get : You can’t open the application “Setup.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X.  The premiere elements 12 out of the same box loaded just fine.

    An .exe file means you have the windows version. Go get the mac version:
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 12, 11, 10
    but I hope you have a mac serial number.

  • Why does 'You can't open the application "setup.exe" because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X.' pop up whenever i try to download the latest flash player?

    whever i try to access websites, most of them work but facebook, youtube, my school email, sometimes even google, and alot other websites wont work for me and will tell me i need to update the lastest Flash Player. but when i try to download it, it says 'You can’t open the application “setup.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X.' what does that even mean?? This happens on safari, google chrome and i downloaded firefox and it worked for a couple of hours and then stopped working again.
    please help, thanks in advance.

    1. Install Adobe Flash Player from Adobe site.
        http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
       Download it first. Click Safari in the menubar and select “Quit Safari”.
        Follow the prompts and install it.
        Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
    2.  Allow  Plug-ins
        Safari > Preferences > Security
        Internet Plug-ins >  "Allow  plug-ins"
        Enable it.

  • Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. help

    Im trying to watch a DVD for a health and safety test i need to do and I'm getting "You can’t open the application “RunMe.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X."
    Im not very good with computers so any help greatly appreciated 

    You chose a Windows program, what else can you do.
    If you had a Windows machine and the DVD required a Mac you wouldn't be able to run it at all (Winboxes can't run OSX) so at least the Mac gives you the option.

  • You can't open the application "MFI_Simulator.exe" because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. Can someone assist. I have Office for Mac 2011 on MacBook Pro 13''.

    You can’t open the application “MFI_Simulator.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. Can someone assist. I have Office 2011 on my MacBook Pro, OS X, 10.9.1.

    Your Office 2011, though a Microsoft product, is designed to work with OSX the Mac operating system.  Any program/application ending .exe is an executable program for Windows.  It will only work in Windows and is not part of or openable with Microsoft Office.
    the application you want to open needs Windows - you have a couple of alternatives:
    Open it on a Windows PC
    Install a valid version of Windows via Bootcamp (or Parallels or VM Fusion) which will allow you to boot your Mac into Windows where it will function like a Windows PC and you can use it to run the application.
    See if the manufacturers of MFI_Simulator have a Mac version available.
    Please note that if you follow the second option, then you will need to purchase a copy of Windows (if you do not have one already). BootCamp is free (part of OSX) but Parallels and VM Fusion cost too.  I see quite a few posts from people who buy Parallels and try to run the program under Parallels - this doesn't work - you need to install Windows as well.
    Hope this helps.

    That's because you must be trying to download a Windows application, and they do not run on a Mac unless you are running Windows on the Mac.
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    For adware removal see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Tool.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
      Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
      OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
      OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
      OS X Mavericks- Protect your Mac from malware
      About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

    For "Could not open key/write value" errors when reinstalling try b noir's user tip:
    "Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\[LongStringOfLettersAndNumbers]\
    [LongStringOfLettersAndNumbers]" error messages when installing iTunes for Windows.
    The technique can be applied to the branch of the registry mentioned in the error message.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
