You're right, I can not get far enough to see a log file. Only software
that I can think of that might have updated on both computers would be
Apple for itunes.

Still, no luck tracking problem.

Right now, you probably aren't even getting far enough to use this.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307001

That article covers how to bump up the logging activity from WIA.
It also shows the start and stop commands for the service.

net stop stisvc
net start stisvc

Chances are, something is preventing it from starting.

If I look in my Wiadebug.log file right now, it contains two whole
lines.
I presume this means my service started OK. (I removed a bit of
punctuation,
to make it easier to read.)

******
Start 'wiaservc.dll' Debug - Time: 2009/07/15 16:44:52:828
StiServiceMain entered, Time: 2009/07/15 16:44:52:828
*******

If I open a Command window, and type

tasklist /svc

I can see one of the svchost entries provides a home for it alone.

SVCHOST 743 stisvc

So it is running right now on my machine. Possibly as a result
of using it in the past. Currently, I have no image devices
connected.

I've done Windows Update for this month, and am patched up to date.

--------------------

I just tried plugging in a webcam and acquiring a still picture in
Photoshop
editor, and the log file appears to get flushed each time WIA is
accessed.
So the original two lines above disappear, to be replaced by any errors
thrown while using WIA. I did manage to capture a small image from the
webcam in Photoshop, but the log file still recorded a sequence of
errors.
The webcam is supposed to be UVC class, so shouldn't need drivers to
get this far.
