I had exactly the same problem with the same scanner.

By powering everything off completely at the mains then back on it 
cleared whatever the problem was and now works OK; although as an 
aside I am finding that DPlingScan, which I also use to crop and size 
JPEGs seems to stiff my machine fairly frequently and as you say Alt + 
Break doesn't achieve anything with such a freeze, it requires a power 
off.
