I hope this is a suitable forum to ask about a twain-connected user problem. If not, I apologize and request redirection.
I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 and am trying to run an old OCR application which was written for Win 3.1. I usually try it in Win95 compatibility mode, as the application is known to work in Win95.
Most functions of the old application work in Vista, but it fails if I ask it to acquire an image from the scanner. I am asked to select my twain source, which I do (Samsung SCX4100), but then the scanner gives a couple of grunts and a message box from Vista says “Twain.dll Client’s 32-Bit Thunking Server has stopped working”. I close the box, am told to check for Windows updates, and finally (when I try clicking around on the application) that “NTVDM.EXE is not responding” and I have to close the application.
I have no alternative twain sources to try, just this scanner source.
The scanner works fine with other (modern) applications.
My c:windowstwunk_32.exe is version 1.7.1.0 dated 2006/11/02. I believe (but am not certain) that it came with Vista.
I would be grateful for any suggestions to fix this.
