PapaTango, then i say - serious work, i mean quickly (as much as the equipment allows and not for a second longer), high quality and reliable. Unfortunately, in none of these parameters, VueScan came close to the original Nikon software. Starting from the impossibility to properly correct the frame shift and ending with an unnecessary, but always performed preview pass... As i say before, now with Virtual Box, i use Nikon software and its work as good as it can (with all inherent problems what always was with my scanner).

Because VueScan is too slow and completely unusable for serious work. I have to use it to scan films, because the manufacturer of my film scanner has abandoned support for the device.

Thank you, Joe! I think I solved my problem. I used VirtualBox with Windows XP running on it, forwarding only one physical usb port to which Nikon is connected. This way I can use VueScan and even the original Nikon app without problems!

Hello, Joe and JDMvW! Thanks for answears, but I think you misunderstanding my problem(may be its because of my bad english :(). My problem is definitely not computer performance. The problem is that running VueScan, which at this time, works with the Nikon scanner, at the same time, somehow blocking at the driver level my flatbed Canon scanner. Something like how audio devices are used exclusively in Wasapi or ASIO mode when other programs cannot use them in parallel. As a result, I cannot use the Canon scanner with other programs while VueScan is running. When I run another program that should scan with a Canon scanner, this program gives me an error, this scanner is busy, although VueScan is currently scanning with a Nikon scanner. As soon as I exit from VueScan, the other program starts working normally with the Canon scanner. The option, Disable Scanner, is in the VueScan settings, and by design, it is exactly what is needed so that when VueScan starts up, it does not access the selected scanner. Unfortunately, this option did not help me. Regarding a separate computer, the solution is quite obvious, but in my case it is completely unusable, since I am in the trading floor and I simply do not have place for another computer.

Hello! I have non standart for this community problem. Then I use VueScan with my Nikon Coolscan 5000ED, I need to use at the same time, Canon Lide scanne to scanning documents. But i cant do this, because while VueScan is runnong, it block ALL scanners for other applications. I try option "Disable Scanners" with "Canon plugins" but it did not help. Can I do something with this? Thank a lot for any help!
