I am having a strange problem with PSCS2.
I use a Epson Perfection 1660 scanner using the latest Twain driver (Version
5.something).
I was trying to scan a picture and anytime I set the resolution above 300 DPI in the Twain settings PSCS2 would lock up after the scan was done. (It looks like in addition to starting the scanning process with the Twain driver, WIA – the windows software to acquire images – is also running. I can see the window showing scanning progress from WIA in back of the Epson one.)
When I use PS Elements 2 or PS Image Ready CS2 the problem does not occur. I have already tried removing the Twain driver and reinstalling it. I am not sure when this
problem started occuring because I rarely scan above 300 DPI and definitely did not try since upgrading from CS to CS2.
Any suggestions? Thanks, Steve
(And yes, I also posted this problem in the Photoshop newsgroup.)

Without any more to go on, it sounds to me like you are running out of RAM.

You didn’t tell us much about your hardware.

P4 – 3.0 and 2 GBits of RAM so I doubt if that is the problem. (As I said, Elements and Imageready don’t exhibit the same problem.) Thanks for responding though.
