    Scanner problem

    Hi

    I just installed IrfanView 4.25 on a win vista 32bit (swedish) pc.
    After installation IrfanView starts by auto and it works fine. I can use my Canon lide 25 scanner and every thing is ok (nice software).

    But when I close IrfanView and open it again my scanner is gone and I can't use it???

    Every time when I want to use my scanner with IrfanView I have to reinstall Irfanview to recognize my scanner.

    Any suggestions to my problem?

    Thanks in advance

    I doubt whether you need to reinstall your scanner — just switching off the power and switching it on again should be sufficient.

    Check the manufacturer's web site for updated drivers.

    If none of that works, then don't close IrfanView — just minimise it to the Windows taskbar.

      Sorry.. my bad english.
      I meant that I have to reinstall IrfanView to get it to recognize my scanner NOT the scanner driver.

      The scanner works fine with Canons own software all the time.

      I have the latest driver from Canon.

        What makes you say your scanner "is gone"? Do you mean it is no more listed in File | Select TWAIN Source...?

        Do you have the same problem with other programs (except Canon software)?

          No trouble with v4.25 for me with a Canon Lide60 scanner. AFAIK it uses an almost identical driver to the Lide25. Might even be the same one.

            Yes. It is no more listed in File | Select TWAIN Source...?

              Only when I install/reinstall IrfanView and IrfanView autostarts as default after installation the scanner is listed among the TWAIN sources.
              When I close IrfanView after the Installation and open IrfanView again and look among the TWAIN sources the scanner nerver shows up again.. unless I reinstall IrfanView.

                Can you see the scanner in Control Panel >Scanners and cameras ?

                  Yes, I can see scanner.
                  It only dissapear in IrfanView when I close IrfanView the first time after installation.
                  Second time I open IrfanView it's gone from the TWAIN sources in IrfanView.
                  Canons own software works flawless all time.

                  I'll understand now that this isn't a hardware problem.
                  Probably something between my swedish Win Vista and IrfanView or between Canons driver and IrfanView.

                    The only Twain key entry in my registry is C:\Windows\Twain_32\CNQL60\CISDS.DS which presumably IrfanView must locate and use each time it needs it. It does not appear to hold that information in i_view32.ini
                    I would guess that the corresponding entry in your case would be C:\Windows\Twain_32\CNQL25\CISDS.DS

                    Which prompts me to ask if you are using 64 or 32 bit Vista. I imagine that you probably need to have the 32 bit version of the Canon driver installed for IrfanView to work.
