My epson perfection v700 scanner (that allows me to scan photos, negatives, documents, etc.) and that I paid over $800 for) stopped working with teh latest update two days ago. I've downloaded a new driver and other software from Epson and it doesn't work. Can I uninstall this update? I like my scanner a whole lot more than I like Windows.

    So this is Kinda Weird as im not a techie at all  i have a Epsom workforce 3520 

    so im kinda frustrated with this Scanning issue as i have multiple page documents i desperately need to scan,

    So i open  Foxit reader  out of pure frustration, and  scan and i scan to my hearts content  6-7-8 page documents without any  issues at all  i save them into the folder i want on my pc  no issies

    the problem as i see it now with Windows and Epson  is    ...... saving the files  i can scan but   it wont saveit with Epsom,  but it will with foxit reader

    So   let the Teccies  work out why it works with foxit reader

    and if you need to scan documents   then download  Foxit reader

    Thanks for posting this information. What version of Foxit are you using? I cannot see this option in the free version.

    What I suspect is happening is that Foxit is using the Windows WIA scanner. To access the WIA scanner go to Control panel/Devices and printers/double click the scanner icon (if scanner is turned on) Then you can use the WIA scanner to scan files to a specific location.

    Otherwise Epson scan might work if yo run it as administrator. Right click/run as administrator.

    Kind regards
