Unoffical Vista X64 driver of LS-8000ED/9000ED for Nikon Scan 4.03

[rudy1]

<p>Thanks, ...................</p>

[larry_kim4]

<p>Worked great for me with 9000ED and Windows 7. No problems. Thanks so much.</p>

<p>this fix works, thank you so much. if your version of nikon scan is prior to the 4.03 (mine was 4.02) download the former (made for windows vista) from the net and apply the fix. win 7 does not always let it work the first try, and it may require someone with some significant computer skills (my brother in this case), but it will work. kind of ironic that the nikon 5000ed scanner is likely the only piece of photographic equipment i own that has actually appreciated in value.</p>

<p>Hi,<br>

I have exactly problem with MAC OS 10.6. Nikon wrote to say they do not support Nikon Coolscan V ED (LS-50) on Mac 10.6. Suggested to use Vuscan. Does anyone know which file on Mac I need to change as you did in Window 7 to make it work?<br>

Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Hello ,<br>

thanks a lot for your excellent work! And thanks for sharing it. I am now working with 2 Computers, WIN 7, 64Bit professional, 2 Nikon Coolscan 4000 and one Coolscan 9000. Absolute no Problems! Works better and much more reliable then it works under Win XP 32. I am able to start the CS 9000 while WIN 7 is running and will have full access to the scanner without rebooting or visiting Device-Manager. Beg your pardon for my poor English!<br>

Greetings from Germany, Bernd</p>

<p>My dear fellows, if you encountered some conflicts between my DIYed coolscan driver and Silverfast 8 X64, please refer to this post http://www.photo.net/digital-darkroom-forum/00ZXCz for solution.<br /> I am not sure about Silverfast 8 32bit version.<br /> Cheers,<br /> Steel</p>

<p>Hello, I would like to add more information to my original post about the DIYed 64bit driver, but I didn't find any way to edit my original post in <a rel="nofollow" href="00Ryck">http://www.photo.net/digital-darkroom-forum/00Ryck</a>, so I have to start this new one. Here is the update: From my recent experience with Silverfast 8 Windows 7 64bit, I found there is conflict between my DIYed driver and SF8, the phenomenon is SF8 will crash shortly after you hit launch/start button in its launcher. If you really want to play with SF8, my recommendation for you now is to uninstall DIYed driver, then use the driver which comes with SF8, it looks like that driver was from Nikon also, maybe Nikon would like to make some changes unless being paid. So the instructions are: 1) Go to device manager -> Imaging devices -> Nikon Super Coolscan 8K/9K ED, right click the mouse, the select uninstall this device and check remove driver files in the confirmation dialog. When it's done, power off 9K/8K ED, then reboot Windows 7. 2) Download SF8 and install. When installation is done, turn on 8K/9K ED, Windows should find the driver for you automatically, you can check the driver provider is Nikon instead of "DIYed software". 3) I found Nikon Scan 4.03 and Vuescan 9 work perfect with the new driver from SF8. BTW: You do not need any changes if you don't want to use SF8. Cheers, Steel</p>

<p>Thanks for updating us on this, I was getting pretty upset with Silverfast. However, I also use the Nikon software by itself at times, and I need to see if this will cause a problem there.<br /> <a name="00ZXNP"></a><a href="../photodb/user?user_id=1717767">Mike Blume</a> , Oct 30, 2011; 05:51 p.m.</p>

<p>Steel Chn:<br /> You certainly deserve a medal in recognition for the help you have provided to so many users of Nikon scanners. Thanks again, and three cheers!<br /> <a name="00ZXTr"></a><a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4781943">Steel Chn</a> , Oct 31, 2011; 02:54 a.m.</p>

<p>Thanks, it's my pleasure."</p>

<p>Thanks a million for the update !</p>

[anthony_kroon]

<p>The driver works as well in Windows 7 64 bits with a Nikon Coolscan 9000</p>

[gwbot2]

<p>I have a new computer running Windows 7 64 bit. Can someone walk me through on installing this driver in this post for my Nikon 4000 scanner? I've tried doing what is stated here and when I update driver in device manager computer states can't find driver. Not that computer savy, if you know what I mean. Thanks</p>

<p>Gerald</p>

[gwbot2]

<p>Sorry, I should have read the last post by Steel Chn. I will attempt to work at it again.</p>

[jorge-vasconcelos]

<p>i downloaded Vuescan then installed Nikon software from the CD and it's working fine.</p>

[k_hill]

Gerald, you need the two files the driver from nikon and the one from steel chn > name the file scanners.inf - i got the same message until i did that - works a treat with my Coolscan 9000 - Thanks Steel Chn!

[horst_heller2]

<p>Thank you very much Steel Chn for providing this valuable inf file!<br>

My Coolscan 4000 is now recognized by Silverfast 6.4 under Win 7 64 bit and I expect it will work.</p>

[andrea_gatti]

<p>Win 7 64 Nikon LS 8000 It Works :-)))<br>

Thank you very much Steel Chn for providing this valuable inf file!</p>

[johann_rachbauer]

<p>Hi!<br>

My Coolscan 5000 is working now with this driver under Win7 with Nikon Scan 4, but my slidefeeder SF210 stops always after the first dia, although the parameter of dias to scan in the magazine is 99. Does sombody have any idea what could be the reason?</p>

<p>Hi,<br>

I have been struggeling with connecting my CoolScan 8000ED (with FireWire 1394 interfece card) to PC Windows 7 64bit for a few days now. I tried this hack but it does not work with NikonScan I instaled. I instaled last VueScan version too to see if it works with my Nikon CoolScan 8000ED scanner but when VueScan software is opened I get information: "No scanner was found connected to PC".<br>

Scanner is not seen in Device Menager, neither when Nikon Scan is instaled nor VueScan, althought my interface FireWire card is seen there. It seems I have original interface card that Nikon supplied with the scanner: Ratoc PCI-FireWire2 IEEE 1394, see here:<br /><a href="http://help.nikon.ca/app/answers/detail/a_id/5978/~/support-for-ratoc-pci-fw2-firewire-card" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://help.nikon.ca/app/answers/detail/a_id/5978/~/support-for-ratoc-pci-fw2-firewire-card</a><br>

<br />So, my PC do not see the scanner when connected via an original FireWire cable and an original FireWire interface card. Is it possible that my <strong>Ratoc PCI-FireWire2 IEEE 1394 </strong>interface card does not work with Windows 7 64bit even though the Ratoc controller itself is seen (as NEC) in Device Menager (in the IEEE 1394 host controllers) and even though I have made Update <a href="http://sfdrv.probitsoftware.revenuewire.net/easydriverpro/lp1-multi/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Driver</a> Software of it?<br>

Do I need first instaled modern 64bit interface card which works with Windows 7 64bit before I will start this procedure? Do you all with WireFire Coolscan changed your current card on the one with 64bit? <br />On Ratoc Systems site in software section for WireFire IEEE 1394 cards it is said my original Ratoc interface card (<strong>PCIFW2)</strong> works only with Win XP/Me/2000/98SE/98. No Win 7 mentioned: <a href="http://www.ratocsystems.com/english/download/software.html#ieee1394" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">RATOC Systems International,Inc : Software Download</a><br>

So, it this a main reason I can not see the scanner in Device Manager, and instaled Nikon Scan or VueScan do not see the scanner there?</p>

<p>I have a coolscan III/LS30 and am having little luck with my Dell LT(windows 7) seeing it. Some of your blogs indicate that an older machine might be better. So I dug out my GX1(windows 2000) Does anyone know which course would be the simplest or most economical course of action. Then, what to do with that course. Thanks for any help. </p>

[dylan_lisoway]

<p>I have done everything as described in order to get my Nikon 8000 working with my machine. I have even gotten to the point where the scanner is recognized in my system aswell Nikonscan and Vuescan pick it up. Everytime I nudge the film holder forward so the scanner takes it, then press the preview button in the software (Either program) it hangs my PC. Completely.... I've even left it for an hour or two, it doesnt progress past 1-2%. (Or unfreeze)</p>

<p>I have the 3 files showing up in the driver, it shows up in device manager, and Nikon and Vuescan believe they have a scanner attached so I am very close. I think it might be the firewire card that I bought and the Nikon not liking it, Im going to try and use a different firewire port on the card (Using different cable), then I'll try a different firewire card. (Mine is usign PCI-E, but I'll try a PCI card, I believe most of Nikons recommended cards were PCI.)</p>

<p>As a side note... I am on Windows 8, and I have not seen anyone else in the thread on that OS. I don't believe it should be an issue for this to work. (Or at least I hope.) </p>

<p>If anyone has any ideas for me to try that would be awesome! I really want to scan some of my 120 properly! Thanks!</p>

[steel_chn]

<p>I have made a self signed X64 drivers for Nikon 1394 scanners for Windows 8 x64, tested with Vuescan 9+, NS 4.03, Silverfast 8.01r17, please use at your own risk.</p>

[steel_chn]

<p>See if I can attach it here?</p>
