I'm reposting this in a new thread. Any help with this would be appreciated:
I'm making a (very) little progress with the
scanner: it looks like the problem is that different programs are competing
for the device, and this is stopping the manufacturer's program (Scanwizard
5) from working
properly (it starts then hangs). I can use the scanner with the "Windows Fax
and Scan" program. This looks OK, but I'd prefer to use the Microtek
Scanmaker software anyway. So, I turned off the Fax And Scan feature,
re-booted (why is this *still* necessary??) and then found that OneNote is
trying to take it over! This is especially irritating since I'd turned it
off in XP - this is another setting that the upgrade ignored/overwrote.
Anyway, rather than keep turning off Windows features, is there a way to
tell Windows that the only program I want associated with the scanner is
ScanMaker 5? I looked at the Program Defaults feature, but I couldn't find
it there.
Regards,
Arfur
