44339 2002-04-17 13:02:00 After nearly 3 years of trouble free operation, every time I try to scan text via OCR, my computer freezes. I've made no recent changes to my computer system so what could be the problem? Memory?
Suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Have you done a defrag recently? How much free space have you on the disk?

Scanning wants lots of disk, and a lot of memory (so needs a lot of swap space).
