Getting your Nikon Coolscan to work on W7 x64  

Followed your instructions to the letter. My new Nikon CoolScan 9000ED now works on Windows 7 x64 Professional. Many thanks. :)

Thanks. Happy to see this thread still serves a purpose.

Thanks :)

Hello Signus, I read very carrefully all your advices, and I managed to get my ls4000 nikon scanner recognised by my laptop workin with W7 pro 64, updating the driver as you said...

But, then, When I go in nikon scan 4.03, the scanner is recognized , but the buton to scan is not active(green) so I can't launch any scan...

Of course I tried several times to reinstall everything... nothing works... any idea about what to do ??

Best regards

Philippe

It should be working; I don't understand why it's not. Sorry. Are you sure the film strip holders are fully inserted into the scanner, or that the film is being read?

Also, make sure the driver is installed...

Yes, the driver is installed...

I use the automatic feeder 200, which is workin perfect on xp machine...

There the green button is just grey with W7

Should this coming from the cable which is different between the 2 machines because I use a 6pins firewire on the scanner side and mini 4 pins firewire on the laptop side... ?

I'm not sure what you mean, but if you're using a different cable configuration then what was designed for the scanner, than yes it could be the problem.

Other than that I don't know why the software isn't working. My setup works just fine.

Sorry.

Hello signus, finally I found what was going wrong : it was

Hello signus, finally I found what was going wrong : it was just the automatic feeder sf200 which was not plug enough in the scanner, then, the software was not working ok...

Everything seems to be fine now !

Best regards and thank you very much for your help
