This operation requires an interactive window station

[Guest]

Hello,
I am trying to install my Lexmark scanner and I get the error message saying
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while
attempting to install it." "This operation requires an interactive window
station".

If anyone can help with this it would be great because there are forums all
over the internet with people that have this problem and no solution.

Are these Vista specific drivers, or XP drivers?

I don't know whether this fix is applicable to your situation, but you never
know until you try it.

They are Vista specific, downloaded from the Lexmark website

Have you tried using Alt-tab to see if there is a hidden dialog box that you
need to make a selection on?
