Can't answer to the hp question but as for Abby Finereader, I just scan with the Kodak, save it as scan1 or whatever it wants to call it, then open with Abby finereader instead of doing it automatically. It some times takes a little bit then do the conversions I want to do, then have the box checked for it to automatically open from fine reader to text eddit, that part sometakes a little bit of time but it will eventually get it done. It's a little more combursom for sure, but it doesn't hang up often, just slow sometimes as it's processing, but after all I am also on an 8 year old machine using Tiger with no hope for the machine to upgrade any farther. Though that was why it was so slow, but it sounds like it's the processing that the softwarehas to do since you're talking about it just totally going busy and basically not responding.

Don't know if saving the scanned document and then opening it with manually will help you or not, but might wish to try it and see if it works better. Remember though Abby Fine Reader at times does take a while to get it's processing done, but by opening with manually that part itself shouldn't take to long, it will be longer in the conversion process probably to get it into what ever document form you are wishing to read it as.

Greetings,

I just installed ABBYY's trial version and reinstalled the software/ driver for my HP c7250 AllInOne printer. (Reinstalling cured my insecure startup item problem BTW, but I digress.).

I can scan using the HP app, however upon pressing the convert to text button, VO emits the following: "system ScanTwain needs attention", and fineReader appears to hang. I located the HP scan app in the status menu via the mouse moves VO cursor option and scanned with the document profile. The scanner whirrs and appears to complete, however the fineReader continues to hang. I force quit the app, but when I restart the ABBYY app but it apparently reissues the message regarding ScanTwain and hangs. All functions within the app result in VO emitting the word: "busy".

I located the hp scan window and pressed the button indicating that there were no more pages, but this had no affect.

HTH for any advice.  Maybe time to contact ABBYY?
Best regards, Geoff
