Scanner Wizard

[Bill Martin]

I'm running XP Home with all the updates applied. My problem is with trying
to make the "scan" button on a Canon MP530 activate my ArcSoft program that
I use with other scanners. The ArcSoft is happy to work with the scanner if
I invoke it manually.

As it should, the XP Scan Wizard will bring up a list of what it thinks are
all the relevant programs on the machine capable of handling a scanner.
Somehow it omits to find the ArcSoft program. The question is whether there
is some way that I can tell XP to add the program to its Scan Wizard list?
Some hack to the Registry or some such?

Thanks.

Bill

Most "enhanced" scanner placed buttons usually requires the drivers
that are written especially for the scanner. Are you using the driver
from Canon?
