Vuescan 8.0 for windows crashed on startup with my Epson3170 on

I'm using Epson3170 with Windows2000 SP4. I've been using Vuescan
7.6.8x, they work fine. But when I started up Vuescan8.0 with my
scanner on, it crashed immediately. However if I start it up
standalone (without scanner attached to computer), everything seems
fine. Has anybody ever run into same situation?

Exact same problem on XP Pro

I thought it crashed also on my Windows XP using both a Epson 3200 and
Minolta 2900. I sat there for about 10 minutes and finally walked
away. Came back 30 minutes later and it was up and running. I closed
it and ran it again. This next time it openned slowly but faster than
before.

Try openning it and just take a walk. Come back and if it's open try
again and see if it's any faster. Don't know why.

This is fixed now in VueScan 8.0. You can download it from:

The problem was a compiler error with inlining strcpy - it was
quite obscure, and I don't really know why it showed up in 8.0
but not 7.6.

The problem only happened if there was an Epson 3170
attached. It's fixed now.
