Nikon CoolScan V ed
Nov 30, 2014 11:17:09 #
The computer I originally had this on died, so I purchased a newer one with Windows 7 Professional (a refurbished from TigerDirect). When I tried to install the software, I was told it didn't work on this operating system. I got the same response when I tried to install it on a computer with Vista. I tried to go to Nikon to see if I could solve this, and all I got was annoying popups! Any advice would be sincerely appreciated. I have many slides to scan, but until I get things working, they're just gathering dust in multitudes of shoe boxes under my bed!

First thing... download Google Chrome or Firefox, use it instead of MSIE, install the Ad Blocker plugin for Chrome or Firefox. THEN use chrome or firefox to go to Nikon's site.
I am sure there are pop up blockers for MSIE, but I find Chrome to be a better browser.

Vuescan
www.Hamrick.com
It has loads of drivers for just about any scanner. Worked great for my old but still good Microtek scannmaster V6usl

I use Vuescan to run an older film scanner on Win 7 Professional. It will work with hundreds of different model scanners.

I did download Foxfire, which is working great. I was able to get to Nikon to check out the software for my film scanner. Nothing on Windows Pro 7 or 8, but there is a driver for Vista, which I downloaded, installed on my computer with Vista (I tend to save my older computers for a situation such as this), and everything is working great. While my hard drive on this computer is fairly small and almost filled up, I do have an external hard drive attached with 2 TB capacity, so that should work. Thanks so much for the advice. Now I know what I'm going to be doing for the next 50 years!

A lot of older software would not run on Windows 7. My older versions of AutoCad are an example.
So Microsoft came out with an XP Compatibility Mode for Win 7 that was a free download at Microsoft's website. This could only be used with Win 7 Pro or Win 7 Ultimate.

Just purchased and downloaded Hamrick Software for Windows 7 Prof on my desktop for my Nikon CoolScan V ed, and it's working great! Thanks so much. I've got a couple of other older scanners, one of which is a document feed with OCR which I've wanted to use but my newer operating system would not accept. Has anyone had experience with the OCR? I know this can really be tricky. Thanks again, Nancy B.
