Hi,I was using my Canon scanner today and when I pressed the 'COPY' button on the scanner nothing happened. Now, this was unexpected so I reviewed my settings in Windows Services (type: services.msc in the Run box).The solution came quickly:I had disabled 'Human Interface Device Access' and this is needed for correct operation of Hot Buttons on external devices - like my scanner. I changed the setting to 'Manual' and now all is well.In FSAutostart I suggest you should first try setting it to 'Stop and Restart'. Chances are it won't be running unless you have used a device like my scanner. If problems are encountered with any external hardware devices in use while the sim is running then I think the setting could be left at that. Otherwise, set to 'No Action'. I have confirmed FSAutostart won't restart it after exiting the sim if it was not running before.I have 3 CH products usb control devices and they don't appear to need this Service to be started while in the sim. Remember, I had disabled it and only noticed a problem when I came to use my scanner today.Mike

Interesting - I've got a memorex scanner that works fine and I have the HID service disabled... Each its own. Thanks for the heads up.sg
