Microsoft Office Document Scanning error

[throw.fata...@gmail.com]

Microsoft Office Document Scanning was giving me the following error:

The scan failed because of a scanner hardware error. Feeder may be
jammed.
Please correct the error and scan again.

After a long search I found out that you can fix it by either disabling
DEP (data execution prevention) or excluding

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MODI\11.0\MSPOCRDC.EXE
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MODI\11.0\MSPSCAN.EXE
and
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MODI\11.0\MSPVIEW.EXE

Hope this helps someone.
