The problem is the non-existance of a WIA-driver for the LiDE 500F scanner (and many other scanners from many other brands). Windows Fax and Scan These 2 programs need a WIA driver (Windows Image Aquisition) which is not a TWAIN driver.
It does however NOT work with the following MS software: 4. Canon and most of the other manufacturers only make TWAIN compatible scanners - MS makes only WIA compatible software I am afraid that I am out of luck with my scanner due to the lack of a WIA scanner for it.

Remove and rescan that hardware device in Device Manager, right-click on the driver executable/installer file -> Properties and select the Compatibility tab click the checkbox before Run this program in Compatibility mode for option and select Windows Vista in the list-down box then try installing the device driver via Run as administrator.

In some cases, due to hardware modifications by different manufacturers, the driver updates may cause some error.
