I am unable to get my scanner software to start automatically when I push the Start buttton on my scanner. If I put a check mark in the box "always use
this program for this action" after I select the appropriate scanning software from the choices, the next time I push the scanning button, nothing happens. I then must go into My Computer, R. click on the scanner and choose Properties, click the Events tab and put the check back in the "prompt for which program to run" choice. Then when I push my scanner start button, I will again get the window to choose the application I want to launch (Epson scanning software). I select it and it will open but I cannot put a check in the "always open.... box or the button won't work at all. This same scenario
is true for my Canon A80 camera as well. The camera is recognized by the computer but I cannot auto launch the appropriate camera software I want automatically by putting a check in the "always use this program... " box. I must again select it from the choices. Epson told me that the 1 touch scanning buttons are controlled by Windows XP and since it is happening with my camera as well, it is a problem with XP. Does anyone have any solution ideas? Added note: The Epson Scanner replaced an older HP scanjet 4100 scanner which DID open the appropriate software for it when I pushed the scanner button. I have since uninstalled that scanner software but it didn't help.
