Help! Confused as could be!

Greetings,

All right. I have a friend who got a virus on his Home XP, and he decided to reformat. Well, after his reformat he started getting this error when tryin' to install his printer, Lexmark I do believe. This is the error he gets:

INF Install Failure. Reason: Not enough storage is available to proccess this command

I've never seen that error before, any help can be greatly helpful to the cause. Even google dosen't come up with much, or I wouldn't bother asking, but I need it. Hehe.


Thanks,
Ali

 

The HD wouldn't isn't full by any chance is it?

 

Budding,

No, that was one of the first things I checked, along with the RAM and pagefile. It has room for more. Thanks for the suggestion, even if it is silly, and sometimes those are the most overlooked.

Hasta,
Ali

 

found on MS site...

i guess that you already checked 1, 2 and 4... maybe 3 could be the culprit..?

 

Entropy,

Hmm. I couldn't even find that, and thank you. Yeah, I tried all about 3. I'll go about without a paging file in a little bit, and see if it's the I/O Error and post back, but still puzzles me if the pagefile is being loaded, and other programs are freezing or locking up if it's a I/O Error. Then again, I've seen stranger things.


Thanks,
Ali

 

Heya,

All right. Same issue, even with Pagefile off, and all programs if non importance are off. =(

Was this an original installation disk that your friend was using? Now mind you, I am not questioning if the XP licence is pirate or not. But if the disk used was an original, or a copy from something else, thus a possibility of an infection.

cheers ...

 

Alistar - i don't wanna be mean, just... try googling once more and make sure that you're searching for process, not proccess
(that MS quote will be most probably first in the google search result then)
