How do i use an epson filmscan 200 with a laptop running windows 7

Check out VueScan software, works with Windows 7 Epson Filmscan 200

Were you using it under windows xp? if you have 32 bit windows 7 I would try those same drivers. Unfortunately the filmscan 200 came out under windows 95/98 and so Epson never released XP drivers and some people were able to make it work.
I would consider connecting it to an older computer running windows 98 and then transfer the files as you scan them (this would definitely be the least painful)
If you have 64 bit windows 7 I would not even waste the effort, 32 bit is a long shot maybe.
Do you have scsi drivers on the the windows 7? because the filmscan 200 is a scsi 2 device
Good luck

I now have my FilmScan 200 working with a modern PC running Windows7 64-bit.
To do this I bought an old PCI card - Adaptec 2940scsi II card (Adaptec still update the drivers,) and a scsi cable (50pin scsi II to 50pin scsi I (centronics)). Together the cost was about GBP25. One has to install the scsi card as 'legacy hardware' in Device manager.
Once upon a time I did get the FilmScan 200 software working with XP but by far the most reliable way is to buy the Hamrick VueScan software - it is excellent!
I gave up trying to get my FilmScan 200 to run my with my Windows7 laptop using a USBXchange lead and VueScan. In contrast my Imacon Flextight scanner and software work perfectly with them.
Good luck,Charles
