This sounds like a software problem to me. If the scanner works
initially but you can't run the software a second time, it would seem
that the software did not unload when you were through. What operating
system are you running? If it is Windows 2000 or XP then task manager
can show you what processes are running - try identifying and killing
the scanner software. If you have Win95/98/me, then you need a process
viewer - freeware. My favorite is named Process Viewer and is available
at http://www.prcview.com Why your software is not unloading properly is
a mystery, but it happens.

Good luck.

The scanner works until I exit the program but then I can't reopen the
program and get messages like:  "Scanwiz5 is already running", "can't
find scanner...use SCSI probe".  If I reboot, then I can get back into
the scanning program until I exit again.
