Good morning.

I recently lost everything on my hard drive. A friend has
very kindly set me up again.
When I go to Scansoft/Paperport though it won't let me scan.
An error message appears"problem communicating with the Twain device".

I suspect this is a simple problem, & would very much like to try and
sort it out myself if poss.

Anyadvice would be much appreciated.

a.b.w.

Canna,

I'm quoting this from Scansoft's site: You need to run INITWAIN.EXE to be
able use that device (scanner) with PaperPort. To run INITWAIN.EXE, go to
the directory where the PaperPort program files are installed (typically
C:\Program Files\ScanSoft\PaperPort) and double-click INITWAIN; you will now
be able to use your TWAIN device the next time you launch PaperPort.

Good Luck,

Good morning Drew,

Many thanks for your advice. Sorry I didn't get back sooner.

In the event my kind computer-literate neighbour happened to pop in, and he
fixed it for me, whilst doing other things on the computer. I do need to
learn this stuff for myself though.

Thanks again for the help.
