TWAIN Driver for Windows 10

Hello



I had the same problem after the installation of Creator version of Windows 10.

After having reinstalled the driver and scan program did not work.



I tried adding twain/canon folder to system path (the trick is for canon scanners, but maybe for others as well https://weblogs.asp.net/jeffwids/canon-scanner-una)

Re-booted, did not work.



I thought maybe the system is missing the twain dll, for me there was"twain_32.dll" and it was there in c:\windows\twain_32.dll (sometimes it's stated online that it is twain.dll or twain32.dll)

buuuuuuuuuuuuut...it was v1.7.1.0 or v1.7.1.3 in the properties of the file, and for the last last update that it was dated 04/25/2017



I found that with the installation files of my scanner, there was a twain_32.dll v1.6.0.3 from 1997 coming with it.

You can find if you have different twain_32.dll present on your computer left somewhere by the installer of your scannner searching with the freeware "Everything" from voidtools.



I did the following:

• Deleted the file c:\windows\twain_32.dll with the freeware -> Unlocker
• copied the twain_32.dll from my scanner installer into c:\windows\twain_32.dll
• Re-started the program associated with TWAIN (twain_32.dll) error.
• Scan was working again.

I you are on the insider program with upgrades of windows 10 every other day, you have to redo the procedure.



Hope it helps. ^-^

 

ernel32.dll Virus Removal

I've googled this and followed the steps I found to remove it and it still comes back. I can't surf the net because of this Trojan.
I've ran malware bytes and it too can't remove it. I've tried Safe Mode manually deleting it and it still comes back. Right now I'm running super spyware removal to see if it can remove it.

Anyone ever had this or know how to get rid of it?

The virus is on a Laptop running windows xp.

 

DLL Missing

The problem is, that the required DLL is not actually even listed there.
There are just dozens of download adware links from the top to the bottom.
