It was an application that contiually checks to see if you have pushed the 'scan' button on the front of you scanner. If so, then it will launch the VistaScan program and do a preview. Quite useless for the average user. It also is somewhat of a CPU hog. I never gave it a second thought until I noticed that my iTunes graphics (the level meters, not the visualizer) had an incredibly slow frame rate when there was nothing running. When I turned off Push Button, suddenly they were working fine.
To get rid of the beast, look in your Startup Items folder inside of your System Folder. Pull it out of there and trash it. It may show up in Extension Manager, it's been so long since I used that, that I can't remember if it shows Startup Items, I know Conflict Catcher does. -Robyn On Thursday, January 30, 2003, at 12:49 PM, Eric Alstrom wrote: > You know, now that I think about it, the CD burner hasn't really worked > since I reinstalled my UMAX scanner drivers (including the push > button!). > Could this be the culprit?
