    Running old hardware on windows 7

    Hello all,
    I recently bought a portable pc with running on windows 7. All went well until I tried to install my HP perfection 1650 scanner (10 years old but in working order). While win7 recognises the scanner by name in the hardware list section it won't accept the scanner's driver, returning the error "Driver incapatiple to win7, runs on 32 bits". I have found a place where a 32 bit driver was rewritten in 64 bits and ran ok on win7 but the site has since closed, leaving me stuck with a good scanner that can't install! Any comments / help on this matter would me much appreiciated.
    Conax,
