Re: PaperPort

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

the creator,

Thanks for your continued replies and interest in helping resolve the issue.
All your suggestions have been attempted at least twice, to no avail.
As to updates, I have been informed I have the latest. Sites also have
posted messages regarding Onetouch scanner as listed , end of life message.
Windows folder only lists twain_32.dll not twain_32.
I don't know what corrupted my paperport program, but I have suspicion that
while the program existed when I upgraded to WIN XP or one of its updates
there was no conflict, but re-installing the program to WINXP seems to have
created a problem. Scansoft and their new company Nuance also state that
upgrading to new version of scansoft can't be done if you have a problem
with current version, without going to more effort then you suggest.

Thinking maybe new scanner might be in offing, like Epson, if I could
transfer and use data from Paperport.

Thanks again.

Hi Old Man :),

> No folder twain_32\paprport\ exists in C:\Windows

Okay do this:
Uninstall Paperport and then uninstall the Visioneer One Touch Scanner.
Reboot.

Again look in C:\WINDOWS\twain_32\ folder for the Paperport or
Visioneer One Touch and remove the folder, if found. Also search for
Paperport under C:\Program Files\Scansoft\Paperport and remove them as
well.

Using Regedit, delete this key and its sub-keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ScanSoft\PaperPort
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ScanSoft\PaperPort

Reboot the computer.

Do not connect the Visoneer One Touch before installing its drivers,
since it is USB Connection.

Install Paperport first, via Custom install to set Paperport Desktop
folder and reboot. Do not Start Paperport up.

Now install the Visioneer OneTouch 8600 Driver. Reboot the computer.

Once rebooted, plug the scanner back in and let Windows find the
scanner. Once found and installed, reboot.

Now once rebooted Start Paperport up. Don't worry about the program
operation yet. But check in the program for latest updates. There should
be 3 updates for Paperport 9.0 Deluxe version. Not sure how many for just
Paperport 9.0 version. Reboot after each update. Once completely
up-to-date, use Explore and go to C:\Program Files\ScanSoft\PaperPort and
find initwain and click it. Close Explore.

Start Paperport. Set preferences. Open Paperport to folder to scan to.
Select Source or Scanner to use. Click Scan, which should launch the
Visioneer OneTouch Scan Manager. Try scanning.

Hi Old Man :),

Did you apply all available Paperport updates for your particular
version? Are you running the latest Visioneer Driver for your scanner?
It is dated 7-26-2002 and the filename is 8600.exe. The exact version of
the driver, I don't have because I am not using that Visioneer Scanner
Model. I have the 7600.

When you previously uninstalled your Visioneer OneTouch 8600 Scanner,
did you do it using Custom or Automatic?

Also did you remove the following folder?
C:\WINDOWS\twain_32\paprport\

Uninstall link:

When you reinstall the scanner and Paperport, what order did you do
them in?

Thanks all for your comments and replies.I have gone back and
re-installed software to the original CD with no luck, even tried a
couple restore points. I keep coming up error, "cannot communicate
with twain device." I can use icon in the task bar to scan into any
folder but when I click on scan from the Paperport desk top is when I
get the error message. One KB article said the cause was when the
scanner is locked, which it's not. Hate to give up on it because it
serves my purpose nicely.

I believe it means PP cannot 'see' a twain device (scanner)
Perhaps a reinstallation of PP?
