Twain drivers for my Canon 8600F are unavailable in Windows XP.
The scanner is identified but only as a WIA device.
If I try to scan into Acrobat 710 the WIA interface appears .I hit scan and
the GUI goes away with an error scanning stopped.
Any ideas?
TIA

1. Unplug the scanner from USB.
2. Insert the Canoscan Setup CD-ROM Choose uninstall the software.
2a. Remove the WIA drivers in device Manager. (If the uninstall does not
remove the WIA driver)
3. Install the Canon drivers from the Canoscan Setup CD-ROM that came with
the scanner.
Follow the instructions.

Choose the TWAIN driver if given a choice.

Thanks for trying.

Do you know how to get into the Device Manager?
Did you run the UNINSTALL on the Setup CD?

To get into the Device Manager, Start > Control Panel > System. Click
Hardware tab, then click Device Manager Button.

For the scanner to show in Device Manager you may have to turn on the
scanner. If the scanner is turned on, you should see Imaging Devices, click
the plus sign, Right click the CanoScan item, Uninstall. Turn off the
scanner, Reboot.

Now that the WIA driver is gone, you should be able to install the TWAIN
driver.

Yes I do know how to uninstall the driver from the device manager.
Did all you suggested and still only have a WIA scanner in Acrobat.710 Pro
to choose from.
I get an message box during the toolbox install "stating an error occurred
while copying files".
I downloaded the latest uninstall executable and ran it.
I am now dumbfounded as to why I can not use a twain driver.
Maybe XP update did me in!!


TIA
