Re: PaperPort

the creator,

Thanks for your continuous help and replies.
Downloading and installing 8600 driver has corrected many issues.
Going to Paperport desktop to do a scan I now have a choice of visioneer
scan manager or Visioneer Onetouch 8600. Visioneer Onetouch still comes up
with Twain device error,but choosing visioneer scan manager brings up screen
for scan and setup choices which was previously missing.
Only problem now is I don't have scan icon in taskbar on the lower right
side which includes connect, configure, close. Looked in help and KB
articles on the web site with no success. It would appear upon boot or
restart. Tried initwain.exe with no success.

Thanks again.

Hi Old Man, :)

Uninstall the current Visioneer Scanner and then remove it from the
computer. Reboot.

Go to
https://visupport.visioneer.com/Portal/view.aspx?id=e20cb17f-2342-4dc1-beac-33d87649ad36

If the top link doesn't work, go to http://www.visioneer.com/ then
click Downloads. The driver for the 8600 is located in Scanners for Home
and click that. Scroll down and click on your Scanner.

Download and install that Visioneer Driver for the 8600. Reboot.

Plug the Visioneer OneTouch 8600 into the computer and let Windows
install the drivers for the product. Reboot.

Use Explore and see if there is now a Twain Driver for the 8600
installed. Close Explore.

Start Paperport and see if it can find the Scanner, now.

Hi Old Man, :)

C:\WINDOWS\twain_32

Use Explore but first, make sure that your Visioneer OneTouch 8600 is
currently plugged into the USB Port and ON.
Navigate to that folder on the left side in Tree mode and click the +
sign to make it a - sign. If installed correctly, the Visioneer Twain
Drivers should be located under Twain. Also click on Twain itself to
open up the folder to see the files and folders in the right window of
Explore.

If the drivers aren't there, Paperport can't find the scanner.

Comments: I don't like to Export the Windows Registry at all. I would
rather repair using a Windows Registry Cleaner like TuneUp Utilities
2006 which has a 30-day free Trial Offer. You can learn about the
program from this link:

b.. Windows XP: File > Export Registry File.
3.. Save this file to the Windows Desktop and name the file "backup".
(You can keep "backup" for a few days and if all is well, this file can
be deleted.)
4.. Navigate to the following location in the Windows Registry, by
using the plus sign (+) next to a folder to expand its contents.
a.. Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\ScanSoft\PaperPort\TWAIN\Config\

I don't consider myself computer literate nor am I a newbee.
I have seen many comments on registry programs in newsgroups and many
have negative comments regarding them especially to non computer
experts. Your previous post regarding making changes in the registry
are way beyond my abilities to delve into the registry. over the years
I have come to depend on my unit for programs, like MS MONEY, to
jeopardize WINXP with corruption or not booting. It hasn't happened
often but when I develop a problem with my machine I learned, be safe
then sorry. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Will mull over the decision mentioned. Maybe something will develop to
correct my existing problem. Reason for wetting is my laptop drive is
only 40 GB.

Hi Old Man, :)

If you have a program like Quik Sync 3 from Iomega, you can move
your entire My Documents folder to another computer, provided the
Hard Drive is large enough with enough free Space to accept the Data
Transfer of the files. I have done it from a Wired Computer thru a
Router to my Wireless Computer.

Iomega no longer makes Quik Sync 3, but replaced it with Iomega
Automatic Backup Pro software.

You could also upgrade to a new version of Paperport. The latest
is Paperport 11 and Paperport 11 Professional which comes with
ScanSoft PDF Creator 3.0 included.

Do you have a Windows Registry Cleaner? Have you tried that to see
if it helps?

Lots of choices.

the creator,

Rather then bite the bullet and reformat my drive which could cause
to lose a ton of software and information, it's a bit drastic
because of corrupted scanner and software, I have a laptop that I
could install scanner and software, my only concern is if I can
copy, transfer data and folders that I now have on my desktop unit.
As it is now I can access the information on the program in the
desktop unit but scanning new information is a bit of a hassle.

Hi Old Man :),

You upgraded overtop of an existing operating system to Windows
XP, while Paperport was installed? That is a No/No.

Your Visioneer OneTouch 8600 is still fine and will work with
Paperport.

Decision Time: Choices: Buy a new Scanner which may or may not
work with Paperport after you are done.

Or, bite the bullet. Back up your Favorites, Address Book,
E-mails, My Documents Folder and its Sub-folders and other programs
Data files. Save everything off of the partition that Windows XP is
currently installed in.

Reformat and reinstall Windows XP. Then update Windows XP to
Service Pack 2 and fully update the program with Windows Updates
including optional Updates, then you may wish to burn an image of
the operating system as is to a set of CD-Rs or CD-RW disks, before
you re-install other programs.

You can always buy a new Hard Drive also, and install Windows XP
onto it without the need to backup information already there. Make
that you new Drive C:\ partition. Then use the other drive for your
My Documents folder.

Problems occur because users install overtop existing operating
systems. The programs installed were installed into the old
operating system for running into that operating system, not for
running in Windows XP. Always do a clean install of a new operating
system.

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.
