OCR software issue. (Text recognition software)

I have an old system with Win98SE2 on it and installed an All in one
printer. I was able to scan paperwork into MSWord with no problems.

I now have a new system with Windows Home basic and using the same printer,
I can no longer do this.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, you didn't give enough info. So I'll take a couple WAGs.

You either need to find Vista drivers for the all-in-one or buy a new
all-in-one. If the hardware works otherwise, then you need to find a
Vista-compatible version of your OCR software.

Or both. Probably both.

Get hoppin'

As Snidley alluded to - check for Vista Drivers,
