Gene--I am having a similar problem using PaperPort and ScanDirect (I'm not sure of the level) and it appears to be caused by a conflict with Adobe Acrobat. When I searched the error message through Google, I found a page on the Adobe website that suggested the following (with a link):
Install the paperportaf.exe patch from ScanSoft's FTP site at
ftp://ftp.scansoft.com/pub/updates/p...aperportaf.exe, and then restart the computer.
I have downloaded the patch but as yet cannot stop it from running every time I try to open a SacnSoft program. Maybe you will have better luck.
