I turn to you as this does have a bit of a photo twist. Allow me to keep it short.


For the past five or six years, I have used Photoshop 5 as my scanning program. No, I do not understand the program but it does work to allow me to scan and to process PDF files. Or, well, it did.

A ten-day ago, I tired to scan a document and the program would not load. I fought with Photoshop for a day or so and then figured, well, something has gone wrong. I deleted it and tried to reload it only to be met with some "Photosle" program which seems to read every program disk as a photo disk. I then went to the pre-emptory reload of Windows XP and was advised that, as I had permitted Microsoft to send me the periodic updates, I could no longer reload the basic program.

Any thoughts? Anyone know of a basic and free program which permits scanning of PDF files and basic manipulation of them? Or should I just do a basic dump of the entire hard-drive and start again from the ground?

Thanks for your thoughts. Oh, yes! I have run SpyBot and CCCleaner and AdAware, all to no avail. I do have an unknown program, TEATIMER.EXE, running which I cannot find to eliminate.

Marc
