Rick Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 I posted a previous thread stating that I am having trouble with my Acer 620P scanner...getting it to work with WinXP. When I try to open the Twain driver I get an error "Twain32.dll missing...place in system file from source disk." Does anybody know why it is doing this and how to work around to get it to work. I tried dragging and dropping the twain32.dll file and still nothing. If I can get this solved, I will be able to free up the WinMe partition on my HD as that is all I have to use winme for now. Waste of space!Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted August 31, 2001 Author Share Posted August 31, 2001 Yeah, Acer is this crappy company that makes defunct desktops and scanners. I really cheaped out and look what I get!Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 What version of MiraScan did you install? I think the latestversion for EPP is 3.42. I'm sure you followed the specialinstall instructions for Win2K?The problem intrigued me, so I did some poking around XP. I sawthat the error message you received was twain32.dll?? I see thatthe filename in XP is twain_32.dll. That is also the name used for MiraScan 3.42. maybe you just forgot the underscore?Another note is that the only native instance of twain_32.dll isat the root of Winnt. Try dumping a copy into the System32 folder.Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted September 1, 2001 Author Share Posted September 1, 2001 TTT thanks a million...no I have not used special installation instructions for win2K. I'll try that and yes you were right...forgot the underscore. I'll let you know how it goes.Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted September 1, 2001 Author Share Posted September 1, 2001 Where do I find these special instructions for Win2K? Tried looking around on Acer's site and within the 3.42 file itself.Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 Rick,There is an html readme file in the MiraScan zip file. I'mnot sure if this will help your situation with the .dll probthough. It sounds to be more for the EPP end of install.What are the locations of your existing dlls?Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted September 1, 2001 Author Share Posted September 1, 2001 System32 folder under windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 Rick,There should also be an instance under C:Winnt. If thisdoesn't work for you, try copying the version included withthe 3.42 package to both locations.Make sure you rename the XP supplied files first.
