Scanner Problem
I installed an new xp driver for old Acer 310p scanner.
When I try to use it, error message - TWAIN.DLL missing, copy missing file to windows folder. I did just that. Up popped windows message -insert CD-ROM, re-install, system unstable. Took me hours, with updates and all that, to get system back to normal. I uninstalled scanner, cleaned registry, downloaded driver again, and the same happened. Copy Twain.dll, Insert CD....windows unstable. Another 3 hours. I really would hate to have to buy a new scanner, this one is good enough for the occasional scanning that comes my way. SimFAn |

Scanner Problem
Go to
www.scantips.com It has a wealth of information getting old scanners to work. This knowledge base article says your scanner is supported by WIA. Have you tried letting Windows detect your scanner without installing the software? http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q293356 -- Mary Sauer MS MVP http://dgl.microsoft.com/ http://mvps.org/msauer/ "simfan" wrote in message ...
