Why does my web browser open when I scan a barcode with my CueCat®?

The CueCat® software will automatically open your web browser and go to a site related to the barcode you scan. Effectively the CueCat software is stealing the scan and Readerware never sees it. It is not necessary to install the software that came with your CueCat when using it with Readerware. So one solution is to uninstall the CueCat software. If you want to be able to use both the CueCat software and Readerware, you must remember to close the CueCat software before starting Readerware. You can do this from the CueCat icon in your Windows task bar.
