Hi Tommy,
A few ideas: (1) Exit Neat and uninstall prior versions. (2) Be sure to download the 64-bit package for the NM-1000. (3) Make sure the scanner is not connected to the computer when you install the software.

If it still doesn't work, try the instructions here:

Did you try a proper uninstall of the Neat software via Control Panel>Programs and Features first? If an install doesn't work after doing that, I suggest contacting Neat support:

If you downloaded the correct version from the Neat site for your W7/64-bit system for the NM-1000, it should not be looking for the driver from Windows Update. Make sure you install the right package and make sure the scanner is not connected to the computer when you install the software. When the correct driver is properly installed, then connect the scanner, at which time Windows should recognize that the driver is installed and not go looking on Windows Update for it.

Good news finally it works. I have to click on the icon in the printer and other devices and it start working. Not bad in 25 bucks.
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.
