I've been running AbbyyFineReader OCR software (for producing editable
text from scanned images) for many years. It was free on a magazine
Cover Disk. It used to run fine on Windows XP and, more recently, on
Windows 7 32-bit professional.

I've just bought a new computer which runs Windows 10 64-bit
Professional, and FineReader won't run on it. It appears to install ok
but opens very briefly and them immediately closes. I've tried all the
compatibility options, and running as Administrator - all to no avail.

Any clues as to how I can make it work? OK, I know that newer versions
are available, but these cost hundreds of pounds (I'm in the UK).


Its usually included with Epson scanners so if you have one of those
look on the install disk to see if there's a 64bit version.
Someone's offering Omnipage 19, Kofax, used to be Nuance, as a
download on eBay for £12.92 (or best offer) on eBay, promising
lifetime updates.
