If you installed this software recently then you might want to
try running System Restore to bring your machine back to a time
before the installation. If you're not familiar with the
procedure you can take a look at these articles:

You also might want to check the software makers web site to see
if this is a documented problem. They may have a workaround
available.

What makes you think there is an update? This is the only update
I could find:

The above families of products were not designed or tested for use
with the new features of XP SP 2. Although testing is currently in
progress, the installation of SP 2 is not recommended until the
testing results are complete.

Because I downloaded it and installed it? Look for update file
pp8082update.exe

As I said, do you have it? It just may solve your problems. Of course you
could always upgrade to Paper Port 9.0

You must have seen it there once, but I can not find it now. No I do
not have it. Do you have it? If so maybe you could post it to some
newsgroup. Or I might even send you email with my real email address
if you would email it. Because I doubt if microsoft allows posting
files here.

Also, you might be interested to know paperport is now in version
10.0.

I love the way the paperport lets you edit text, delete text, and add text to scanned documents right in the scanner software. Wrote:

Omnipage was OCR, and quickly became a resource hog, quirky in
operation, and a large learning curve for the average user.
A search for scanning software in this niche catagory, can come up with
application that run in the thousands of dollars!
My best advice would be to wait. Until you can find the product you
want that is supported within SP2, has the features you want, and
supports your scanner.
Best,
