Thread starter lilart Start date Apr 29, Status This thread has been Locked and is not open to further replies. Please start a New Thread if you're having a similar issue. View our Welcome Guide to learn how to use this site. Joined Apr 10, Messages It is a large window with 2 square smaller windows.

The other small window is titled Registered Applications and has "Microsoft Word" listed in that box. I would like to get rid of this in a safe way.

What is OCR Aware? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, lilart. Joined Jan 27, Messages , You have a scanner? Ok, the message is just asking you if you'd like to register only meaning have the scanner acknowledge scanning capabilities into word for the ocr program, maybe you have omnipage pro or lite as well. Just click register, and all should be well.

BTW, ocr is optical character recognition, in case you want to scan a document into word and have it recognized without retyping the whole thing. I registered Office 97 as you suggested.

The OCR Aware window still appears with my desktop. Would that help? I don't want to do anything to confuse my computer, but need some other idea to get rid of the pesky thing. You can try that, it's not going to hurt anything. Does it just start with windows and then minimize, or is it always open? If you find that you don't want it starting at all, just do this: start button, type msconfig, then hit ok, go to the start up tab and uncheck whatever refers to the ocr aware, probably omnipage.

On mine, I always keep it unchecked in the msconfig until I need it, as it does take up some resources. Wish I could say it worked, but it didn't. I restarted my computer, the window came up as usual. I went back to msconfig in Run and the box was checked as it was originally. I unchecked it again and restarted my computer again. Same result, the window appeared again. Any other suggestion will be appreciated, but I'm shutting down for the night.

Close out of registry and go to File find type startup Look through all of the startup folders and see if you have any reference to the above. If you do simply delete it. Now reboot. Hi, She, quick question, I still have that add-in installed in my word, and it doesn't start up each time Log in Register.

Thread starter Guest Start date Jul 5, On start up of my pc I'm now getting the following message "OCR Aware 32 bit has encountered a problem and needs to close" this gives the option of sending an error report or not.

I've sent the error report a couple of times but with no response. This all seemed to start a couple of days ago when my anti virus protection warned me of a virus whilst I was surfing. I carried out a complete system scan and found nothing but I did find that I was unable to use Windows Media Player which I've since reloaded with no problems.

This warning doesn't appear to have any impact but what does it mean and how can I stop it in future? Gordon said:.
