Vista - Maybe SP1 issue with Canoscan scanner?

Maybe SP1 issue with Canoscan scanner?

I've noticed just recently (probably since installing SP1) that my Canon Lide 60 has stopped working right. To be specific, the only way I can reach the scanner interface for advanced scanning is to launch it from the canon toolbox utility. Then, once the image is delivered to photoshop, I have to start the re-launch the scanner interface again; I can't get it to stay open for more pages to be scanned. It used to open just fine directly from Photoshop and wouldn't close until I deliberately dismissed it.

I've checked MS knowledge base and Canon support but I see no newer drivers and no other reports of my specific issue. The error I get when trying to open the twain interface from photoshop is: "Could not open the twain source".

Other apps, such as Microsoft Doc imaging, don't see teh scanner at all. I also tried downloading VueScan but that couldn't see the scanner either.

I only scan infrequently so I'm not gonna run out and buy a new scanner, but when I do scan it's usually more than one page, so this is a pain.

Thanks, Bob Graham

Re: Maybe SP1 issue with Canoscan scanner?

I guess this is not a very active newsgroup. Anyway, I found the
problem in my case. Probably not SP1 related...

I have alot of software installed and it aparently keeps adding more
and more onto the Path variable in System Properties. On the advice of
another user in another forum, I added C:\Windows\twain_32\ (and the
name of the particular folder in there my scanner uses, not the same
for other scanners). Problem solved, without so much as a reboot!

Re: Maybe SP1 issue with Canoscan scanner?

Hi
I have a Canoscan 3200F scanner and it couldn't find the Twain driver.
Adding the path you suggested fixed the problem. I reckon it was something to
do with adding Sp1 as it worked fine before that!
