scanner problems
Do you get ANY errors? Or does it just *fade away*....
Have you taken a look at the Event Viewer to see if an error gets logged internally - that maybe doesn't get sent to the screen? Get it to a point where it works, and note the time on your PC, then use the scanner. Then close out of the scanner application, and then go back in. If it still works, note the time, again... (we're just trying to get this failure to happen and associate it with the time). Then click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, or Administrative Tools, and then double-click Event Viewer, and click on Application. You are looking for a events AFTER the time you know it worked.... there may be many...(most are harmless, and the system simply restarts whatever failed)... that is why noting the time it WORKED is important.... You can right-click on any of those events, and gather (sometimes) useful information about what happened. This should AT LEAST give you the program/driver that is having the *issues*. And maybe even more info than that. Good luck, -Lawrence in Seattle "David Sutton" wrote in message ... Has anyone else had problems using Epson 1250 Perfection scanner with Windows XP.
