Digital BW, The Print

Regarding the stalling problem I've been experiencing, I want to 
report a fix that I hope will be permanent.
On this page http://www.silverfast.com/faq/1029/en.html there is a 
suggestion to solve a very different issue, but I thiought I'd give 
it a try anyway since I hadn't heard back from Lasersoft & no-one 
else had any ideas on what to do.
I deleted the entire contents of the SF prefs folder (PS>Plug-
ins>ImportExport>SF>Prefs) and started again. 
Actually, I cut & pasted the contents into a temp directory in case I 
needed to retrieve it.
Voila !
It now appears to be working correctly. I'm not sure why or how 
but........

Another benefit seems to be that I now have more support for the 
glass film holder. If I select 6x9 as the film size in the scan 
preview window,  I can crop to any size.

I have included my original 'plea' for help below:

I am using Silverfast Ai version 6.01 r28 - the PS plugin version 
Polaroid Sprintscn 120 with latest firmware
Photoshop 6.01 
Windows 98SE & 768mb ram 
Scanning in Normal mode, not Normal(file).
Mainly 16 bit Grayscale scan type.

Problem is that after the scanner finishes scanning , the little blue 
progress bar shows that it is finished, then nothing happens ! It is 
almost frozen ! 
IT DOESNT BRING THE SCAN INTO PS! 

The little Blue progress bar is complete. 
A thumbnail of the image is complete. 
And the little aeroplane with moving propeller is still flying. 

If I click the Cancel button, it will often do what was supposed to 
happen - bring the image into Photoshop.
