Interesting to see that you are so smart that you know
that it is the "Scanner Module which has serious codeing error"
and that you can judge that it "has little or No value".

I recommend that either you do a more thorough analysis
or simply post only what happened without any judgement
when you do not know anything about any underlying reason.

Any Application that does not function and or ends up in an endless loop by definition has coding problems - Environment is ruled out. If an application is designed to do something and it doesn't - it has not been tested and the fault must lye in the applications design. This fundamental in 1st year uni stuff
