Mac OS 9: Type 41 Error and VistaScan Software

An alert box with a positive or negative error type 41 may appear when certain versions of UMAX scanner software are installed and the computer is waking from sleep mode.
Symptom

An alert box with a positive or negative error type 41 may appear on screen when certain versions of scanner software are installed and the computer is waking from sleep mode. The alert may also occur at shutdown, restart, when the Finder is forced to quit, or when the Finder reloads in a multi-user environment.

Solution

UMAX has updated the VistaScan software to version 3.75. Contact UMAX for information on obtaining this update.

Temporarily, you could disable the VS Control Strip module to alleviate this alert box prior to updating the software. To do this, locate the file in the Control Strip Modules folder in the System Folder and drag it to the desktop. Note that there is a space at the beginning of the filename so when viewing the Control Strip Modules folder by name, look towards the top.
