Hi all

I have an old Epson scanner (a good high quality one with slide scanner) that only works in Windows XP. However, since reinstalling all of my versions of Windows (I had a triple boot thing going on), I couldn't get XP to install at all, so I've now ditched it in favour of Windows 7 and 8 only.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get a scanner that doesn't work at all in Windows 7 to work within Virtual XP, or does the host OS need to support the device before the virtual machine can use it?

Many thanks
