I have the same problem as noted elsewhere. I get the message "Scanner could not allocate required memory. Quit other application and try again" Nothing else is open. Can't get past it.
I have the same problem, scanning from Corel PhotoPaint 12, PhotoShop CS2 and now PhotoShop CS4, the latter after a HDD reformat and full install of software. The disk I am using for workspace has 339Gb space, so there really shouldn't be a problem. This only occurs when scanning transparencies - I can't even scan a 1 inch by 1.5 inch slide in 8 bit grey at 100%. Sounds like something to do with the transparency adapter itself. Lokos like Isghall have to revert to my behemoth Mustek A3 scanner.
