Can anyone help me uninstall ScanWizard?
The installer doesn't have an uninstall option and I want to make sure
I remove all the components.

Installing ScanWizard was a mistake. I thought it would run under OS
10.4, but Umax-Microtek tell me they have no drivers for 10.4.
Thanks for any advice.

there is a download uninstaller on their site, on the same page as the
download. If you can't find it, you have your main Scanwizard file in
applications, and in one of your libraries under application support is
a scanwizard file, and in one of your libraries under preferences you
have a file. by "libraries" i mean that there is one on your hard
drive and a second library under "users" you have to check both.

It works great on 10.3

Before you trash it, try this: go to library/application
support/scanwizard and trash all SCSI files. That is what i had to do
to get mine to work.

Be sure you have the latest version.

Vuescan works well, however the preview is slower than Scanwizard. Don
will no doubt disagree on this point, but i think he is on windowz, so
no surprise there, i am on mac.
 
Thanks for your post. I couldn't find the uninstaller on the website,
but I think I did find all the files and folders that had to go, and
then re-installed and ran into the same obstacle as before.

I failed to find any SCSI files on my HD. Do they have a filename that
includes something other than "SCSI"? Or maybe ScanWizard 7.22 doesn't
include the SCSI files.

Anyway, in case anyone else is having the same problem, I found a
couple of work-arounds which make ScanWizard usable on OS X though less
than ideal.

If you ask ScanWizard for OCR it won't let you save to any text
handling app, but if you use the OCR button on the scanner it allows
you to save to TextEdit, and from there you can copy to Word.
Circuitous, but better than nothing.

Likewise the ScanWizard window won't allow you to save to image
handling apps, but if you save as a jpeg (or other format) you can then
open the image with any app you have.

Cheers, John
