I have a SCSI scanner that needs an aspi driver to work. The aspi driver is OK with Windows XP but - according to instructions - not with Windows 7. I have a Windows 7 Prof, 64b. Can I install the aspi driver in Win XP that I run in Windows Virtual PC?
Or will I have to run it in another XP version that I boot separately?

try to install the driver setup in compatibility mode.

Properties.

PackageName Properties dialog box, click the Compatibility tab.

Run this program in compatibility mode for check box, click
Windows XP (Service Pack 2) in the Run this program in compatibility mode for list, and then 5. click
OK.
6. Double-click the executable file to start the installation program.
If the driver is not available in setup file format then can manually update the drivers from device manager
