PaperPort 8 is pretty old now. PP11 is the latest and it is more than
a year old.

If PP8 came with your previous scanner, it may be a bundled "lite"
edition.

You don't say what you mean by "launch". If your scanner works with
your PC, then you should be able to scan into PP. You may have to
reinstall PP so that it recognises a new scanner that you have added
to your PC.

Given the lack of information you provide, it is hard to know what
else might be happening. I suggest a visit to the PaperPort
KnowledgeBase on the Nuance web site.

"if it works, don't fix it"
:-)

it was bundled with the version 6 Lite, and I bought the licence for the version 8 "full"

it shows the Canon twain driver as available, but it hangs when I try to activate it.

I'll give a try for reinstallation, but I have already seen on other forums people
speaking of that problem with Canon & PP, and some had some tweaks, but I can't find them
anymore.. and so much sites & forums speaks of scanners & PP!!

well, thanks for this very tip, buying the PP11 solved indeed the whole stuff

I am used to drive an old VeloSolex moppette, to shoot with an old Lampagyar hungaryan
rifle and to collect and use lots of old stuff, so I don't like to upgrade when it works.

PP11 has maybe some new tricks, but I have lost some shortcuts from before, and it will
slow down my usual work to relearn...

thanks again
