I just bought the Epson 2580 scanner and loaded it on my Win XP Pro SP2 system. Here is my issue: Everything works perfectly with the exception of the 4 front smart panel buttons. When initially pressing one of the buttons, I am asked which program to associate with it i.e. Smart panel, Epson scan etc... Then there is a small check box that says something like "Always use this program with this button". Once I choose the program to open and check the box, the next time I press the smart panel button, nothing happens.

BTW, I have downloaded the twain driver update, and the smart panel patch from the Epson site. I did call Epson customer support and the tech guy was using SP1 and said his worked fine. So maybe it is a SP2 issue.

Has anyone here had a similar problem?

Thanks in advance,

Greg
