Peter,

Before you dump your scanner, you might want to try the driver for
the Epson Perfection 2400 Photo scanner. It's supposed to work with
the 1640SU. Epson has a Windows 7 64-bit version available on their website.

Thanks for your suggestion, but so far I have not had any success.
Although I can find the driver for the Perfection 2400 scanner Windows
7 won't seem accept it for the Perfection 1640. Windows detects there
is a 1640 there and I can't see a way to fool the system into thinking
it is a 2400 so that I can use the new driver.

So, I am reluctantly still searching for a new scanner. At the moment
the Epson Perfection V350 or HP Scanjet G3110 seem to be suitable.
Both seem to have downloadable drivers for Windows 7 (64-bit).
