Bought new scanner - Viviscan Compact III. Found WIN 2000 driver installed. When try to scan using PhotoSuite or other software I get error that states "Disk Space is Not enough. Please Try again with a lower resolution or smaller scan size". I've tried the smallest resolutiona dnd smallest scan size allowed.. same message. I can preview scan, but can't actually scan. I noticed that the Free Space indicator shows a negative number... strange. I have about 20GB free on Hard Drive... 256MBRAM, page file of 400 - 600... I DON'T GET THIS ONE AND NEED HELP. ; )

In MHO, your page file is too small.

I use a seperate 2GB partition for my page / swap file, and let Windows use the whole capacity as it pleases.

Another possability, is that there is a problem with the default folder that the scanner software uses to store the temporary image files.
There should be a config or similar INF or INI file for the scanner software that specifies the folder used to store images. Make sure that the folder exists, and that it is not write or security protected.
