When scanning to OCR from PaperPort® 9.0SE, the following error message appears: "System error incurred in external ink module EZText.g32. The OCR server is unable to process the document". I have Windows® XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed.  What should I do?

This error message appears because Windows® XP SP2 does not support the file type for the Scan to OCR function. In order to correct this issue, you need to change the settings of your computer. Please follow the instructions below:
