I have the same problem with a much newer multi function Canon. It is a game killer for me and until I find a resolution to the problem I will not be installing W8. So I wish you good luck but at the same time do not expect a resolution short of tweeking the registry to fix the problem.

unable to use Paperport with Windows 8 which makes it a showstopper for me. Windows 8 and Paperport will not recognize installed scanners and scan is the main reason for Paperport so I am able to install Windows 8 but not use it since several times a day I need to scan a document for storage...

Canon MP 287 Not compatable

I have exactly the same problem with a Canon multifunction. For me it is a show stopper since I require PaperPort in my computer use. Have found no solution or even suggestions online through forums, or directly with the company so for me Windows 8 is a future produce and not worth the effort...

I can't imagine a company spending the time and effort to train people to use Windows8, so suspect that Microsoft is smart enough to know that as well. So the needed steps to success includes getting as many people to "learn Win8" on their own as possible and at some point in time they will use...

Open wide for the latest dose of what we know is good for you. Sounds llke the fruit company ( we will take a small bite from your fruit) that way you can see it is not poisoned. But you do have to take like we say is best and what you want has nothing to do with anything. The new policies...

Windows 8 is modern day snake oil. If you buy it everything will be fixed and better for you in short order. Install Windows 8 and you will be able to enjoy the bliss of being completely lost and unable to find your way. It will remain this way because users will be too busy trying to figure...

I tried to install Sunset Money on Windows 8 but still wanted to have the official file on Windows 7 since I have a showstopper problem on Windows 8. I ended up with a new money backup file on the Windows 8 screen every time I used money in Windows 7 so have uninstalled it on Windows. But it...

yes yes

Someone will come up with a way to bypass the Metro aspects of Windows 8 that will make the Start menu mimic Windows 7 and keep all the inner workings of Windows 8 and all the improvements inside Windows 8 will continue to function. Something is going on inside even when you take away the metro...

I am not lucky or unlucky enough to have one of the fancy touch screen devices and for sure unlucky enough to have a slow connection to the internet. So Best looking Metro for me would be a way to have the Windows 7 start screen instead of any Metro at all. It is hard for me to imagine the...

Two quick ways. 1. Ctl, Alt, Del and lower right corner of screen will show shutdown. 2. Touch power off button on computer and it will close windows and shut down

I was planning to use Win 8 as my main system but starting to set it up I realized that what I was trying to do with it was to see how much I could make it look and work like my Windows 7. So now dual boot with Windows 7 as main system but still able to boot to Win 8 and will remain this way...

The software for the Canon MP280 is automatically installed but the scanner is not recognized by programs such as Paperport. When I try to use the installation CD that came with the MP280 it starts the process of installation and gets to the install screen and tells me that a printer is already...
