My feeling is it's a conflict somewhere. How much RAM in that Mac? Got virtual memory on? What resolution and color depth are you trying to scan? The problem is it scans into RAM and if you don't have enough real or virtual RAM and are trying to scan too big of an image, well you fill up all the available RAM. :P Newer scanner software is usually smart enough to know when there's not enough RAM and pop a dialog box telling you so you can stop it without a problem. I got that message with my first scanner on a 486 that only had 16megs RAM and I was using a fixed size swap file. Doubled the swap file size and it worked, slowly. :) ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
