Twain32 drivers

http://www.jasc.com/helpers.html

When scanning images, Paint Shop Pro 3 stores the image in RAM during scanning. While this should be supported by most Twain drivers (Twain's a scanning standard), not all Twain drivers are equal. You can get an updated driver from your scanner manufacturer, and Jasc Software (maker of Paint Shop Pro) has a list of manufacturer's sites on its Web site. If you're using the 32-bit version of Paint Shop Pro on Windows 95 and the scanning options are greyed out, you will need to install the Twain32 drivers. These are also downloadable from the Jasc Web site: download the twain32.exe file to a temporary directory and double-click it to install the latest Twain software in the correct directories. -- Rose Vines
