Delete all files and subfolders of the C:\Windows\Temp folder. Then
these files can be be written, and accessed properly.

It is most likely lack of disk space and not memory.

I have two hard drives. C drive is a 19 GB drive with 3.85 GB
available, and my D drive is a 111 GB drive with 9.45 GB available.
What is the minimum that drive C should have available?

I have indeed rebooted, but still get the same error message.
Moreover, I've cleaned out additional space on my C hard drive, and
now have 6.12 GB available. I *think* the problem has to do with
system memory, i.e., not enough memory is available even right after
rebooting my computer.

Last Paperport that I got was version 7.0 That was in Dec 2000. So,
methinks, there may be a genuine memory usability limitation with version
3.0 Namely, it may simply not recognize the amount of memory you have.

Start->Run->MSCONFIG

turn off some of the things that are loading at startup. You can also
try manually setting your swap file to a larger size...if you have 6
GB available on your C: drive, set it for a 1GB min and no max.

Good Luck...

Only a guess, but could you have a problem that restricts your virtual
memory ? Perhaps it is disabled or your disk is so full that W98
doesn't want to allocate any more swap space.

I only have 256MB on my PC and it handles everything even when allocated
memory is up to 700MB (but it thrashes a lot and is pretty slow).

Regarding free space on your hard drive, you have more than I do. Mine has
3.36GB free out of the 7.82GB in the partition. As far as start up programs
go, I have a ton of little utilities loading...29 total counting everything.
Once in a long while I get that same message (usually when I start Winamp
which I do first thing) but rebooting always fixed it.

A couple of programs that might help you figure out what's going on...

TaskInfo is the best and most complete. Not free but has a 30 day trial.

Process Viewer

Process Explorer

You might want to run SFC to see if some Windows file is missing/messed up.

Try moving the temp file to D, move the swap file to D, and empty them.

Searching with Google using keyword: PaperPort "Not enough free system
memory to load image file", I got three results which exactly describe your
problem, but they are in Chinese.

------------
(My translation)

Troubleshooting - When I am using PaperPort to scan, "Not Engouh Free System
Memory To Load Image File" error message appears, how do I solve it?

There are two reasons produce this error: 1.System resource is lower than
80%. 2.PaperPort software damaged, you can solve through the following two
ways:

1. Check system resource

Temporarily close all active applications.
Execute "Start"->"Settings"->"Control Panel"->"System"->"Performance", and
check whether system resource is lower than 80%.

2.Reinstall PaperPort

Execute "Start"->"Programs"->"PaperPort"->"Uninstall". At the same time,
hold down Ctrl+Alt+Del, close all active applications, and delete the
following files: Accugld5.dll, Accuifgl.dll, Lead50.dll, Leaddib.drv,
Maxlink.ini, Dib.drv, Maxprcap.drv, Calera.ini. Reinstall PaperPort.
