Image capture scan button greyed out

Thanks,
I have Tiger. I did check Image Capture > Preferences and tabbed to Scanner. I am unable to select the Use Twain Software. I did download the Mac Twain drivers from Epson (Twain v 5.75A for Mac), but I could not extract or install the files. The Epson file had a *.sea extension, and my Macbook didn't automatically select a program with which to open it. So I don't think I can select Twain Software, unless I am missing something. I think you have me on the right track...

Thanks,
I understand that Stuffit is a Mac version of WinZip. I somehow had trouble downloading and installing Stuffit. I will try it again. thanks for the info regarding the sea extension. I bought the full version of WinZip. Would you happen to know if there is a WinZip version for Mac. When I changed from PC to Mac, I didn't really understand how many software conversions I would need to make. [That's another discussion--Is there a discussion board for PC to Mac changers?.]

So, you'd recommend downloading stuffit, extracting the Epson files, installing them, and seeing what happens? Makes sense. I assume also that Macs do not have Twain drivers pre-installed?

Actually, I got Stuffit downloaded, and tried to open the epson *.sea folder. I received a message in response that said the file was not compressed, and hence could not be expanded. Any other thoughts on what to do with a *.sea file? I will to a google search on .sea files and see what I come up with.

Thanks,
You know way more about this than me. But, I tried this method and got the same result, a dialogue box telling me that the file is not compressed and could not be expanded. Any other thoughts while I'm searching Google for .sea files?

Wow,
So a google search does indeed show the *.sea file to be a compressed Stuffit file. But when I try to expand it with Stuffit, I get the above mentioned error message. I'm making progress, but I'm still not much closer to making my scanner work with the Macbook, and getting a twain driver installed on this machine. I did buy the extended warranty. Can I get Apple to walk me through this?

It is an epson cx3200 multifunction machine. i don't use the printer, just the scanner occasionally--I have a high speed, high cost scanner at work, but with my experiences with Apple stuff at home so far, I'm not ready to switch my work computers to Apple. It worked well with my Dell PC, and I was hoping that a machine from a major manufacturer would work with my Mac. Anyway, it is an old Epson cx3200 multifunction machine.

Thanks, but I already did that. In fact, I have the Epson site for which you very nicely provide the link already open. The problem is that I cannot do anything with the *.sea files that are downloaded to my computer. I have sent a technical request to Epson--but I suspect that installing a common device like this should not be so much trouble and I am missing something obvious.

Sorry, I deleted the files. I will probably try to download them again from Epson, or try a web search for other sites that have these files. I will let you know. By the way, access to scanning capacity is critical. Do you have any recommendations for a home scanner that works with Macs?
