<p>This scanner was made for windows 98 and earlier. Not for xp. When I switched to xp I had to get rid of it. I think you are out of luck here.</p>

<p>Hi Stefano,<br>

you are not out of luck, VueScan (<a href="http://www.hamrick.com/">http://www.hamrick.com/</a>) supports your scanner:<br>

<a href="http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/vuescan.htm#nikon">http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/vuescan.htm#nikon</a><br>

It is a much better software than Nikon Scan anyway and constantly supported/updated.<br>

<p>Also, I've had pretty good luck with older drivers and software under XP by playing with the compatibility mode. Right click on the icon you use to start the software, and you'll find it in there. I bought an older scanner from a guy who couldn't get it to run under XP. A couple of shots in the dark and it worked like a charm for me, and still does.</p>
