Win 7 64 bit driver for Epson perfection 660

Hi,
I had to buy a new fitted tower at the weekend when my computer refused to boot. I had no choise in what was available to buy - Windows 7 or nothing.

I managed to locate drivers to upgrade all of the equipment except the scanner.

Epson do not care and have no intention of providing these drivers. They told me I should have asked them about compatability before upgrading my computer. Get real please.

I am really frustrated because I know that a driver exists that will run my scanner perfectly. It is available from Vuescan. To use it free every scan is covered in dollar watermarks. To get rid of the marks I must pay either 40 or 80 dollars depending on system purchased.

So, if the drivers exist, which I have proved that they do, there must surely be a free version out there somewhere but all my searching has found nothing.

The attitude of Epson is disgusting.

Regards,
Chris
