Thanks very much. Had to download the Canoscan Toolbox software (available on Canon’s website:http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/scanners/LiDE_series/CanoScan_LiDE_50.aspx?type=download&page=1) for the scanner to work after installing the driver, and once I had done this it worked fine on my Lide50. The “scan” button on the scanner doesn’t work but it’s very simple to launch the Toolbox software on your PC and start the scanner from there.

I downloaded and installed the driver. Now the LiDE 50 scanner does not show in Photoshop or Acrobat Profesional. I get Integrated TWAIN camera instead. Any ideas on whet I should do?

Hi there. Thanks for the driver. I have installed it and get the message “device working properly”. I have done “Test Scanner or camera” from Start/Devices and Printers and get the message “Your imaging device successfully completed the diagnostic test” and the status in the property dialogue box is “device ready”. However, if I right click on the scanner in Start/Devices and click on “start scan” I get the message “You need a WIA driver to use this device. Please install it from the installation CD or the manufacturer’s web site and try again”

I have toolbox 4.9.3.2 which may have been installed when I was trying to get the LiDE 50 to run as an LiDE 60. I’m having a similar problem as Barry (December 15, 2010) in that I can’t select source in the toolbox setting. If I try to scan from the toolbox, I get a dialogue box headed “Select Source” message with the following (and only) source highlighted: CanaScan LiDE 50 11.1 (32-32). If I hit the select button, I get the message “Unable to select TWAIN source”.

If I try manually running Launch.exe I and go through troubleshooting, I get the message under issues found “incompatible application”

I feel as if I’m 90% there but I really need help to actually get the scanner operating

I have done what you explain and when I plug the scanner it sounds as it works but when I try to use Digitalization utility or Scann using Paint, both don´t find the scanner. What should I do?. I have no money to buy another scanner.

Thanks in advance and best regards.

Great that someone makes the effort to solve the Canon Lide 50 problem.
Shame on the multinational corporations of Microsoft and Canon who should be spending some of their immense profits on their customers.
I had to manually add the driver, but, hey, what a pleasant sound when the scanner woke up as the driver was accepted. Thanks again

Personaly I dont’ use the Canon installer, just use the prompts that Windows gives you when you plug in the scanner, much easier.

i can’t get the installer to run. using windows 7 x64 (just like old windows, except it makes you even stupider!) and i hit setupsg.exe and run as an administrator. nothing happens, and when i use the “troubleshoot compatibility” thing, it says the program is an “incompatible application”. if i have task manager open i see setupsg.exe open for about half a second before disappearing. by the way, what’s with all this 9/11 fake computer security fnord crap? every time i run an exe i have to reassure my pc that i really wanted to do that. i loathe windows. why haven’t i made the switch yet? i love penguins. /rant
