Scanner, Unable to open file

[ireneeng]

Hi

I've a CanoScan LiDE 30 that still works just fine. The install disk is Ver 1.02 which uses Adobe Acrobat 5.  I uninstalled and reinstalled a few times but I'm still getting

"Unable to open file"

"This program has known compatibility issues" ..

"twain .."

How can I update the Acrobat 5 to be compatible with my current laptops? Is this the problem? One laptop is Window 7 and the other 8.

Thanks in advance.

Irene

This error appears to be related to the installation of the TWAIN drivers and not the Acrobat software.
