Nothing. It just runs in the background.
You should see it in running processes.
On my Win98 system, is just shows as "Stimon".
But without it running, neither my HP or Umax flatbeds (one SCSI, one
USB), or my Nikon film scanner (SCSI) will work.
I was just suggesting, since you mentioned it, that you could start it
manually, then see if your scanning interface works then.
