Scanner and Camera Wizard for Windows 7

To date Microsoft has not answered this question.  I feel as if I wasted yet more time and frustration with this issue.

 

Technically, a Microsoft support engineer answered this question and has received several votes that the answer was helpful.  Probably we need to open a new issue if we want to get any further attention from Microsoft.

That having been said, since I clicked the "me too" button some time ago for this question, I have discovered some of the functionality I missed from the XP scanner and camera wizard in the Windows Live Photo Gallery.  It's not as simple and straightforward as I would have liked, but it does allow you to select which photos and videos to copy or move from the camera and helps to categorize them, albeit in a different way.

I agree with CatLou and I've seen dozens of posts  on the web about this without a solution.

The key advatage for me with the way XP's wizard worked was that it allowed you to give a default name, scanning dimentions, directory, etc... allowing you to scan several 4x6 photos, 8x10 documents, whatever... in succession by hitting the scan/back button repeatedly.  

This allowed me to scan several documents of the same dimension, say 8 1/2 x 11 "tax documents 2007" quickly and allowed me to create an image archive.

Windows 7's wizard presumes one task at a time and doesn't consider that one might want to scan several family photos at once.

In general I like Windows 7 but in a few respects, Windows 7 has been 2 steps forward, 3 back.

I miss the XP version of the camera wizard, what is the easiest one to use for Windows 7, or is there a way to download the one for the XP to Windows 7:

 

I also loved the XP version for downloading my photos.  I'd also like to know the answer to your question.  And I don't accept the "installation wizard" answer, because it doesn't answer the question.

I'm with both of the above.  It used to work and now it doesn't even recognize my camera even though it is shown in the scanners and cameras section on my computer control panel.
