Although OmniPage SE is designed to be easy to use, problems
sometimes occur. Many of the 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.
