Canon Lide 100 - Hangs on standard user account

[Ns4785]

Hello,

I recently acquired a Canon Lide 100 and It works beautifully. The only problem I'm encountering is when I log into Windows Vista as Standard account, it doesn't scan properly. I can open the scanning window but when I click to "Scan", it just freezes up and nothing happens. This doesn't happen if I log in as an Administrator, only when I log in as Standard account.

I tried looking for a solution to this but I haven't found any. The cable works fine, my system is Windows Vista Business (64 bit), and software is MP Navigator EX 2.0.  I tried using different software VueScan, InfranView, Gimp, but nothing seems to work.

Was there a solution to this problem?

Hello Welcome to the Canon Forums and thanks for your inquiry!

It sounds like your standard account may not have access to some of the required services needed for scanning such as the WIA service.

Thanks for the quick response. I found the answer in another forum. I had the following disabled:

- Shell Hardware Detection

After enabling it, everything worked fine under the Standard account. In case anyone else might have the same problem, make sure the following services are enabled:

- Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
- Shell Hardware Detection
- Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)
