General Troubleshooting Solutions
Although OmniPage Pro is designed to be easy to use, problems
sometimes occur. Many of the onscreen error messages contain self-
explanatory descriptions of what to do — check connections, close other
applications to free up memory, and so on. Sometimes that is all the
troubleshooting help you need.
Please see your Windows documentation for information on optimizing
your system and application performance.
