Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB Scanner detects no driver for Windows 7. How to fix it?

Original Title: Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB Scanner

 

OK ....  the Microsoft Compatability website says I can attach this scanner and it will run on windows 7 64 bit without any further action. NOt SO!!! It can not find a driver and Mustek shows no drivers for 7.  The vista 64 driver does not work!

Poo on Microsoft for saying it's compatable and poo on Mustec for not keeping up to date!

Is there a difference between Mustek for Europe and Mustek for USA As far as drivers are concerned?
