Photoshop Twain error...

[edro]

Here is the error when it starts up. I can hit ok, and it goes away, but it is annoying everytime I start PS up...

Thanks!

It is hard to say when you do not reveal the operating system. Look in add/remove software/programs
Do you know what TWAIN is?

Xp of course...

I thought TWAIN was the crap that scanners use to communicate with 3rd party applications.

bump... I don't see any twain stuff in Add/Remove programs...

It would help to know what model scanner you're using, which version of PS, and which software you're using to interface your scanner with PS. Are you using the scanner manufacturer's own drivers or specialized software like Silverfast?

Try unplugging, then replugging in the cable to your scanner. If that doesn't help, check taskmon and if your TWAIN driver software is running, turn it off. Reboot, then plug in the usb again and turn the scanner on. If it wants to add new hardware, hit cancel. Check PS to see if it loads properly this time. If it still gives you that error message, completely remove your scanner software using Add/Remove and re-install it. Make sure you have the latest version of your scanner software. Good luck.

I'm not even using a scanner... that's the problem.

I want to disable it completely.

Oh! Geez, no wonder you're frustrated. If you have ever installed any of the following:
a. Printer drivers
b. scanner software
c. digital camera drivers
d. Any drivers from HP

I recommend that you use add/remove and your favorite reg editing program to remove all traces of them from your computer. Then try PS again. If you still get the error, re-install PS. Last resort, contact Adobe customer support.
