epson scanners plus vista plus sf ai

[antoine.brisebard]

one of the developers gave a good hint to make epson scanners work with sf under vista:

open services console (start-run-services.msc); look up "windows automatic picture acquire" -translated from german vista; maybe someone can post international name ;-)-; end service; set service to "manuell".

now my epson 4180 runs flawless under v.32 and sf ai.

Dear antoine,
this obviously is still an interims solution, we are still talking with Eppson to find a better way for everyone....

dear nils,

indeed - that's an interim, working solution.
if i'd waited for a software-update by your company - i'd be without scanning possibility for more one year!

your uncertain hint about supporting epson 4180 plus vista in undefined future is a shoddy trick to calm down users not being able to use your software with their scanners.

let's make a bet: sf ai 6.5xxx will never support epson 4180 plus vista32! (i'm not talking of a costly upgrade originally announced as a free update - remember the rumble when changing to 6.5 was changed to a costly upgrade)

concerning the bet: i prefer pizza confuso.

Dear guenther,
actually i do love betting but thats a private thing :-)

Seriously:
We / I do not know when or if this will happen, but if it will happen it will not be a cosly update ( i would be willing to take a bet about that ).

As for the "shoddy trick" remark:
No, its not, but there are things where we only CAN be uncertain, sorry about that.

Best regards,

Nils Heidorn
