Epson Scanner 3490 Problem solved

I had a real problem with my Epson scanner, it was working fine then suddenly Photoshop & Word could not access it. It worked fine from it’s own copy etc. buttons but just ignored the PC. After messing about for a couple of days this as follows is how I cured the problem:-

First using ARPXX Program remover found here :- [|http://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~bfriesen/ ... rpxx.shtml] I remove all the Epson files of which there were quite a few.

Then I used CCleaner programFound here:- [] I Cleaned all the garbage, and used the Registry cleaner to remove the Epson entries from the Registry.

Then using Explorer I scrolled to C:\Window\Twain_32. I CUT Twain_32 and Pasted it into the Temp file in D:\

I removed it so that any corruption in that file was not left to corrupt a new version

I then went to Epson’s site found here:- [|http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/supp ... =Downloads]

And downloaded all the updates for XP

I shut-down the PC and then disconnected the Scanner

Next I re-booted and installed all the updates, and shut-down the PC once again.

Finally I re-connected the Scanner and re-booted.

Voila Photoshop & Word recognised and connected perfectly with the Scanner.

Hope this helps you if you get the same problem
