V700 is seen by device manager and on correct USB port. Cannot invoke
scanner using buttion on front or the Epson Scan desktop icon without
getting the magic error message referred to in prior post. Cannot use
Epson Copy Utility. When this icon is clicked, nothing apparently
happens... no messages, no scanner activity, no action of any kind.
Again, I can invoke and use scanner from either Silverfast, ABBYY, or the
scanner wizard in the Control Panel. Can't really understand why the
'Epson' pgms (Scan, Copy) won't work.
Oh, w/reference to the 'full.bmp' file possible fix. Did a serach for such
a file on my system. Found one created sometime back in 2003. Changed it's
name to 'full.old' No effect.
Any other thoughts before I box it back up and send it back to Epson?

I've had issues with Epson scanner/printer drivers
before -- particularly scanner drivers. Same situation --
an old Epson scanner (1640) preceded a new one
(4990.)
What may be happening to you is that the Epson keys
in the registry are locked, so the new driver can't do
what it needs to with the registry.
Use this method at your own risk.
*** Save your registry and back up critical files first. ***
First, do the usual "uninstall" of all Epson-related
drivers on your machine (Epson printers, Epson scanners,
etc.)
Use the 32-bit registry editor (regedt32) and blow away
all EPSON-related registry keys.
You need regedt32 (not regedit) because you may need
to change permissions on the EPSON registry keys
before you can delete them.
When you're through messing with the registry,
reboot your PC.
Then reinstall the driver(s) from scratch, using the latest
drivers from the Epson website.
*** Important ***
FOLLOW DIRECTIONS precisely when re-installing the
scanner software. In many cases, you need to have
the scanner OFF or at least disconnected from USB,
while installing the driver software.

I have a Windows XP, but for some reason this worked.
