Have you checked the manufactures site for updates?
Hi Rusty Yes that was my first port of call, updated both the firmware and software, but scanner still blocked out by flashplayer logo (as shown in attachment).
The printer scanner control panel comes up when selected,but the minute I select scan the block comes in?
It would appear I need something to replace flashplayer (now withdrawn from Adobe),there doesn't seem much to choose from, hence my post on PC help forum.
