From: Max on 19 May 2010 08:03 I have an old scanner ACER PRISA 320P and it is not time to change it (at the moment). I have the drivers running under winXP but no matter to find updated drivers running under win7 64bit. For this reason I thought to use a virtual machine with my old XP installed to continue using this scanner for a little.

From: Carlos on 19 May 2010 09:06 Max, Then this may be your lucky day. These guys: http://www.hamrick.com/ make drivers for outdated scanners like yours. There is even a free trial so you can try before you buy (the software). Best of luck.
