In a word, "No," but I was having similar "hangs" on my Acer w/Win98 when I
asked Vuescan to do 6 repeats recently (and have had before in other
programs, similar circumstances). When I dropped the requirement to 3
repeats, it scanned and output a log file just fine. That won't help your
problem, I know, but try scanning one frame at a time in sequence, with log
files, working up to the "offending" frame. The log file of that frame-scan
could or should give you more information. It *might* be a temporary clog
in the feeder mechanism/carrier (this has happened to me on occassion, with
a different scanner, and for no reason I could detect).
I sort'a suspect you've done this, but sometimes in the "heat of the battle"
we miss something that would have been more noticable in calmer times
(sometimes vice-versa, but that's neither here nor there).
Best regards and good luck--LRA

Ed still wants me to send him a log file, which I can't do, since it hangs
on
preview and wipes out the log file.
I e-mailed him back suggesting he generate a series of logfiles in his
application, i.e. logfile1, logfile2, logfile3, etc. Each file would write
just
a step or two then CLOSE itself. Then it would increment, write a few more
steps
at most, and close again. This might save some data before the hang occurs.
The
logfile open at the time of the hang would be destroyed, but the logfile
just
previous would hopefully record what the SS 4000 was doing just prior to the
hang.
Does anyone have any other ideas on how to preserve a logfile being written
to
when a sudden freeze of the entire Windows 98SE occurs (requiring a power
cycling on CPU) during a SS 4000 hang in Vuescan? And just what is this
doing to
the FAT table on my SCSI disks, etc?
