Please make sure of the following before you begin installation:
■ The information in this guide may cover software not provided with
the scanner you purchased. Disregard any information about the
software not applicable to your chosen product. Please visit our web
site at www.visioneer.com for the latest software updates for your
Visioneer Patriot 780 scanner.
■ If your computer has Antivirus or Antispyware software running, you
may see messages during installation asking you to allow the
installation to proceed. Although the messages will differ based on the
software your computer is running, in each case you should allow the
installation to proceed. Alternatively, you can turn off the Antivirus or
Antispyware software before installing your scanner, but if you do,
make sure to turn it back on again when installation is finished.
■ If you already have a Visioneer or Xerox desktop scanner connected to
your computer, you may need to remove its driver programs first before
beginning the installation of your Visioneer Patriot 780 scanner. Please
see "Uninstalling Your Scanner" on page 98 for basic instructions, or
see the User's Guide that you received with your other scanner for
specific instructions.
■ If your computer is running Windows Vista, you may see the Vista User
Account Control screen asking you to confirm system changes. Click
the Continue button to allow the installation to proceed.
