I had the same problem before, it turned out that the ASPI32.DLL was
at fault.  Just get the ASPI32.EXE (.ZIP?) from Adaptec and follow the
instruction to install it.  Re-boot your NT, and that's it.

Another simpler way...uncompress the file I mentioned above to a temp
dir. then copy the ASPI32.DLL file to the appropriate directory.  Go
to  Control Panel/Devices and stop ASPI32 and restart it again.

The version of ASPI32.DLL included in DeskScan II 2.3 seems newer but
doesn't work!  So the only choice is to use the one from Adaptec.

Now my scanner works fine with DeskScan II 2.3, Photoshop 3.05 (not
3.04), OnmiPage Pro 6.0 and some (not all ) other 16- and 32-bit apps.

Hope this helps.
