OCR software issue. (Text recognition software) "John Freeze" <johnfreeze[ at ]telus.net> 10/22/2008 11:50:51 PM I have an old system with Win98SE2 on it and installed an All in one printer. I was able to scan paperwork into MSWord with no problems. I now have a new system with Windows Home basic and using the same printer, I can no longer do this. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, you didn't give enough info. So I'll take a couple WAGs. You either need to find Vista drivers for the all-in-one or buy a new all-in-one. If the hardware works otherwise, then you need to find a Vista-compatible version of your OCR software. Or both. Probably both. Get hoppin'
