Can't scan by right-clicking on file: Error:During open ATL dialog

I’m getting the following error message whenever I try to scan a file by right-clicking on it in Windows Explorer and choosing “scan” :

" Error:During open ATL dialog. Error number:183 "

It just started after I updated the program on October 8th, before that I was able to right-click and scan. Any idea how I can fix this?

running : Windows XP Media Center Edition

I’m also getting that error message: “error during open ATL error number -1” I’m running windows XP-home, and did a clean reinstall a short time ago. I had to re-download the Avast home workstation and used my previous registration key. Every time I try to scan a download with a right click, that message comes up! I do not feel very secure right now. Can you help me?

Strange that a topic of 2003 wasn’t followed up… ::slight_smile:
