XP problem with TWAIN device and permissions

[sstory]

I have an app that is using a scanner via TWAIN. If I am logged in as
Admin, the device shows up in the list, but if not it doesn’t.

This is with Win XP.

Any thoughts on what to do for the user to allow the access without making
them a complete admin?

Thanks,

Shane

For any who have the same problem, I found the solution:

Do the following and try the one at a time, starting with step 1:

* in regedit, grant full control to that user for the key
HKLMSOFTWAREScanner Information

if that doesn’t work:
* grant full control to that user or Users group for
HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlControlStillImage

HTH someone else.
