Re: Silverfast 6, sprintscan 120 & PS problem

Hi Frank;

It might be a) not enough RAM  or b)some qirk of your particular ##&%
@!! Windows 98SE setup. The Silverfast password should enable you to 
go back and pick up the twain version (it comes with, on the CD so 
you're not cheating) I would start there, maybe it'll work better, 
and you can still use it through PS, there's no functional 
difference I'm aware of, except the twain is available to any other 
applications you might have as well-try it.
