Sometimes it would be days between these occurrances; sometimes only 15 minutes apart; sometimes whe the computer was idle and sometimes when I was in a critical moment in an on-line game. I never did find out why it happened and eventually wound up selling the scanner; chalking it up to "incompatability" ...... (or ghosts)

PCs .... love `em when they are working, and, hate `em when they keep doing stupid things to make me figure out how to trick `em.

Now I try to read up on things before I buy, looking at reviews and paying more attention to oddities and incompatability issues.
