I have a Visioneer Onetouch 8100 scanner/Paperport software that performs perfectly except for one nagging problem; the Twain is slow to release between scanned documents. Usually 3-5 minutes waiting time between scanned documents for the Twain to become "unbusy". Is there anything I can do to decrease the wait besides go make a cup of coffee?

This will rebuild the registry and also replace missing or corrupt system files

Boot the PC and keep tapping F8 right after the beep until you get options, select command prompt only, give it a minute to arrive at the prompt with a flashing cursor then type scanreg.exe /fix then press enter, it will run through a few screens then say registry repaired. Press enter then press ctrl + alt + delete keys together to reboot.

When Windows has loaded, click start, all programmes, accessories, system tools, system information, tools then run system file checker and replace any files it asks for from the 98SE CD then reboot.

When it has loaded to the desktop, click start, programmes accessories, system tools to run disc clean up, then run disc defragmenter from system tools

This part is optional

Download, install and run Tune Up 2006 Trial

Run Tune Up disc clean up

Run Tune Up registry clean up

Click Optimize and Improve to run Reg Defrag, the screen will lose colour during the process which can take a few minutes and then needs a reboot

After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to optimize the computer, select computer with an internet connection from the drop down menu, this also requires a reboot

After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to accelerate downloads, select the speed just above your actual connection speed, this requires a reboot.

After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to run system advisor

Thanks Keith; but will this procedure work for Windows ME?

[Retired Tech]

Probably not

Tune Up may show the error

[oldmedic]

OK; but will the registry rebuild procedure work on ME? I checked my system tools and I don't have a System File Checker option.

No, for some reason I didn't see ME mentioned, sorry
