Can I use a Visioneer Strobe XP100 with Windows 7?

I have a Visioneer Strobe XP100 scanner that is normally used with Windows XP or earlier.   Is it possible to use it with Windows 7?

I installed the software but the scanner does not seem to work.   Is there any way to test it to see if it is defective?   I have not used it before.   I bought it on eBay.
If the software installs then I would check the scanner on another computer. If that fails you can probably conclude the Scanner is defective.
If I plug in the USB cable to another computer, should the other computer indicate it has detected it, or must the software be installed first?
Uninstall the software, unplug the scanner, restart, leave the scanner unplugged and reinstall the software. Now connect
I tried that, no good.

Thank you.
You are welcome. Too bad about the Scanner, though.
