Windows XP SP2 adds a file in the \Windows\Twain_32\Mira3_42\ folder

I have an old AcerScan 620ST flatbed scanner. When I installed SP2 the
transparency mode went crazy. (Scanner works fine in Win98SE)

The fix I (finally) found is to rename a file in the TWAIN driver that XP
SP2 insisted on putting in the Twain driver folder.
(D:\WINDOWS\Twain_32\Mira3_42) My computer is dual boot, XP is on D:.
Mirascan 3.42 is the TWAIN driver for the Acer.

For my scanner the filename was NT5Supp.sti, I renamed it to
CSM_NT5Supp.sti. I also found that renaming to NT5Supp.sti.csm works also.
Deleting the file did not work because SP2 kept putting it back.

The tip off to an extra file, was the date code on the file. If you find a
file that is a very different date that the rest of the scanner files, maybe
SP2 is doing it.
 
Thanks CSM1
Much appreciated.

Andy
