Twain scanner requires admin rights

I have an app that is using a scanner via TWAIN. If I am logged in as
Admin, the device shows up in the list, but if not it doesn't.

This is with Win XP.

Any thoughts on what to do for the user to allow the access without making
them a complete admin?

Thanks,

Shane
 
For any how want to know the answer:

Do the following and try the one at a time, starting with step 1:

* in regedit, grant full control to that user for the key
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Scanner Information

if that doesn't work:
* grant full control to that user or Users group for
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControl\Control\StillImage

HTH someone else.
