Does anyone out there have ideas about this one ?
I have a Nikon Coolscan III (LS-30) and an adaptec scsi card (exact type I
can't say just now as I am not at that PC).
Anyway, the fact is.... I installed XP and read about the need to get the
old ASPI layer for Windows 2000 in order for it
to work. This I had already done and tested the scanner which scanned
fine. This wasn't very long ago, and as far as I can
remember the only thing I have anstalled since is Photoshop Elements 6.
Now it is not showing up as a twain source. I've
tried VueScan (which is what I used before anyway... no change there) and
it tells me "The scanner is not ready". I don't
see it in IRFANview when I go to select a TWAIN source.
On boot it picks up and reports scanner type OK. Scanner when powered on
behaves as normal, doing its self check and
then steady light.
I've checked the ASPI layer to see if it has been replaced by the XP one
by something but the versions and file sizes are
exactly as they should be.
Any ideas ? Could it be something that Photoshop Elements 6 has
overwritten as part of the installation ?
Cheers,
Woody
I don't have cure, but I do have a trouble shooting procedure.
First download and install the free Irfanview and Plugins/Addons.
http://www.irfanview.com/
Open Irfanview, File menu, Select Twain source, Is you scanner in the list?
If your scanner is in the list, select it, Select.
Then File Acquire/batching scanning, try a scan.
If that works, you have a problem in Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.
I would re-install Photoshop Elements to see if that fixes the TWAIN
problem.
