corey_narsted Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 <p>I have a CoolScan 4000 and have not been able to install the driver for it. I have tried the most recent version of NikonScan (version 4.03) and even that won't work. Does Nikon not support 64-bit versions of Vista?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akira Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 <p>Corey,</p> <p>Unfortunately, Nikon's Japanese website clearly states that NikonScan 4.03 only supports 32 bit versions of Vista family.</p> <p>There might be some trick to use it in the 64 bit environment, but I'm afraid I'm not knowlegable enough to offer any suggestion.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corey_narsted Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 <p>If this is the case, is there another scanning program that will work? Possibly Silverfast?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akira Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 <p>Is Silverfast generic scanning software? If so, you'd better refer to the developer's website for the required environment.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corey_narsted Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 <p>It is. they make their software to run pretty much anything from a $99 Epson to an Imacon.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akira Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 <p>I've found the website and it says Silverfast supports Super Coolscan 4000 ED (again) only on 32 bit Vista:</p> <p>http://www.silverfast.com/product/Nikon/200/en.html</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corey_narsted Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 <p>D'oh... Plan B: This is more of a computer-nerd question. Can I run an XP emulator within Vista? Or a 32-bit Vista within 64-bit? Kind of complex, but aside from a second computer on 32-bit Windows (which I have but this is my last resort) it's all I can think of.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christoph_sensen Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 <p>I use VueScan, which supports the CoolScan 4000. This software is maintained constantly. I highly recommend it.<br> The VueScan Website can be found here: <a href="http://www.hamrick.com/">http://www.hamrick.com/</a>.<br> Christoph</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_boutilier_brown1 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 <p>I second the suggstion of VueScan - I use it with a Nikon 8000, with no problem!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Shafer Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 <p>Here's a fix for the Nikon 8000 and Vista 64-bit posted in the Digital Darkroom forum a couple of months ago: <a href="http://www.photo.net/digital-darkroom-forum/00Ryck">http://www.photo.net/digital-darkroom-forum/00Ryck</a>. I haven't tried it myself (don't have Vsita 64).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
