"Not enough storage to complete this operation"

OS is Vista Ultimate SP1. Googled this error message, but
still don't understand what exactly means. Any further info/help
would be much appreciated.

I dont believe this scanner & its supplied drivers are compatible with Vista

Tx for reply! Frick..... another frustrating Vista issue.

Surprised if not compatible with Vista as before installing,
ran the Upgrade Advisor and didn't show scanner as one
of devices non-compatible with Vista.

Have you checked the Benq Website for a Vista Driver? If they have one use
it/
Maybe it is an XP driver.
Have you tried installing the driver in XP compatibility mode?

Hi,

Not a Vista issue, it's up to the device manufacturer to supply compatible
drivers and software. From what I can discern, Benq doesn't support this
model under Vista.

The upgrade advisor can only report on what it knows to be incompatible.
From there, it's up to the user to determine this.

You might try something like vuescan (http://www.hamrick.com/) that will
often allow the use of an older scanner under Vista.

Tx for all replies.

After few days of trying, finally got scanner to work with Vista.
Unsure tho what exactly worked as installed driver had on disk
in WinXP compatible mode and also installed Vuescan from
R.Rogers' link (tx for that). Eventually scanner showed up under
Devices as working. Uninstalled Vuescan as scanner now working
with my ABBYY FineReader software.
