I'll see what I can dig up about it but I'm sort of busy right now. Maybe if Speedy sees this he can help you out if I'm not here

Junior Poster Posts: 51 Group: Members Member #41 Joined: April 30, 2008	When I tried to scan about a few months ago. I was able to scan one thing but then it suddenly stopped working.

Admin Posts: 4,395 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: January 24, 2007	Cool. I didn't know there was an alternative way but I'm glad you figured it out. I've found that it's usually best to use things that are specific to your device rather than use something generic that's built into Windows.
