<p>Hi Brad,<br>

the NikonScan 4.0.3 will install on Windows 7 Ultimate and work OK, at least it does with me. Do not forget to first uninstall any other Nikon-Scan versions you might have installed on a testbasis, otherwise you get an install-time-error (on the Nikon website and on some Nikon-CDs you find the uninstall-pgms for the related NikonScan version). <br>

Good luck,<br>

<p>Hi Ricardo,<br>

I did some looking about for ASPI drivers. Some people wrote that the Adaptec ASPI driver V4-7-2-a2 should work on Vista and W7. Someone mentioned a ForceASPI for his CD-ROM device and some sound-software, but I have not looked into it. Should you get the LS-30 to work with NikonScan then please tell us on this thread as well, would be interesting to others and to LS-2000 (maybe even LS-1000) users.<br>

<p>Hi Ricardo,<br>

sorry, being a first time replier I had to register first and after all that jazz I forgot to write half of my intended reply. I have tried the Adaptec SCSI-cards 2940/2940W, 2940U/2940UW (32bit-driver aic78xx_aic78u2_win7_2k8r2_x86_v605457.exe) and 29160N (32bit driver u160_w7_ws08r2_x86_drv_b7_5_645_100.exe) all with their W7 drivers from the Adaptec page (downloaded the driver a few days back). Their used to be an Adaptec 2904 and an 2940S6, but for those I could not find a W7 driver. So maybe you should go for a 2940U or 2940W or a newer SCSI card for which you find a driver on the adaptec website.<br>

With VueScan you also do not need the ASPI drivers like you do for NikonScan, quite important, since Adaptec does not supply ASPI drivers for Vista or Windows 7 anymore.<br>

Hope that helps a bit.<br>

<p>Hi Ricardo,<br>

I am running VueScan 8.6.34 on W7 32bit (Old drivers option answered with YES) and using my old LS-1000 and LS-2000 as well as the newer LS-5000 without a problem so far. After that was running fine, I tried to install NikonScan, but the 4.03 version I used come up with an error message during the INSTALL-process. Maybe I have to follow Steel Chn's advice given for the x64 version to uninstall VueScan, then install Nikon Scan, then reinstalll VueScan. But that is not an urgent issue to me.<br>

Steel, thanks a ton for your fine work to get the LS-4000 and other scanners to work with x64 Vista, makes me feel optimistic to use W 7 x64 (which I throw out to be able to use scanners).<br>
