Hello,

Today I paid attention to the spash screen and noticed a 5-second lag as PS tries "Building TWAIN Menu Items." The lag appears to be consistent no matter how many times you relaunch PS 7.0.1 so clearly this process isn't cached. Other than this, Photoshop actually loads fast on my P4 2.6GHz,1GB RAM, 64Mb GeForce 4, 60GB 7200rpm HD Dell Inspiron 8500.

I have a CanoScan N1220U USB scanner that I use occasionally with another application so I wonder if it's possible to disable PS from searching TWAIN devices?

I'm wondering it your divers don't have a problem. have you tried to update them?

I'm running the latest TWAIN_32.dll driver from Canon. In any case since I don't ever intend to Photoshop to scan any documents, I have removed CProgram Files\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Plug-Ins\Import-Export\TWAIN_32.8BA and PS launches are way quicker now.

You can try to disable it by putting a tilde ( ~ ) at the beginning of the folder and remove it to reactivate the twain.
