TWAIN error (TWCC_BUMMER)

[eljainc]

Hello,



I'm having a strange problem that has come up on a Windows XP Home

with SP2. It has a TWAIN scanner connected to USB. It comes up with

a TWAIN error (General failure. Source immediately unloaded.) This

error happens when the twain scanning applet is called from another

program. If I run the program at the command line it functions

perfectly. Nothing that I know of has been changed on the computer. I

tried System Restore to go back a few days, but that didn't fix the

problem. It seems to be a Windows issue with the way external

programs are run and the resources available to them.



I tried to uninstall and reinstall the scanner driver, but that didn't

seem to help.



Any ideas?



Thanks

Mike

I suggest going to the

scanners home site

and download any updates

they have available.



they usually have their

proprietary software for

use with the scanner.



so I would download the

entire package they have

provided for their scanner.
