Scanning software not running properly

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I have used Smart panel with my 89 PC but after I upgraded to XP and
reinstalled my software including Epson 1260 I get the following message
"Unable to access the scanner because it is not ready or another application
is using it. Close all scanning applications."
I used to use Prestol Page manager and it is also installed and it works
though the TWAIN is ver 4 instead of ver 5
Any ideas?--

Download the XP driver/utility from Epson's web site. Make sure you get the
TWAIN driver in addition to the Smart Panel utility.
