That sounds exactly like the problem I have.
I discovered that if you do the following it stops the freezing.
Load !Photodesk.!Run
Edit the line in it that says:
IF "<TWAIN$Path>"<>"" THEN RMLoad <Photodesk$Dir>.Modules.TwainPDIF
and add a '|' at the beginning, so that it looks like:
|IF "<TWAIN$Path>"<>"" THEN RMLoad <Photodesk$Dir>.Modules.TwainPDIF
This stops the TwainPDIF module from loading.
Scanning obviously won't then work but at least it stops the freezing.
Please let us know if that cures it for you.
Bernard
