Getting your Nikon Coolscan to work on W7 x64  

Thank you. Works perfectly. At last I can get rid of my old XP computer :)

Thanks for the feedback.

Happy scanning :)

I'm trying to get my Nikon Supercool scan 5000 to work on my Windows 7 x64 laptop and tried to follow the instructions provided by Sygnus21 "Getting your Nikon Coolscan to work on W7 x64". I cannot access the links for downloading the scanners.zip file so I can extract the scanners.inf file. Please help. Thanks.

Hello deirdremeldrum, welcome to sevenforums.

Sorry but I can't understand how you can't download the file? I just tried it and it works fine here.

And not that it should matter, but are you using anything other than IE (internet Explorer)?

Thanks Marilyn I appreciate the comments.

BTW email addresses aren't allowed here so the moderator removed it.

At any rate should you need further assistance you can contact me here or through my website.

Happy scanning :)

When trying to update driver, I keep getting "access denied". I have followed the instructions and tried several times.
Any suggestions? Thanks, Arold

Yeah I need a bit more information - OS/version, Scanner model, USB/FireWire?

And there is tons of info here for getting scanners working, just need a bit more info.

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I am using Win7 64bit, Nikon Coolscan 5000, USB.

The 5000 definitely works under Windows 7 with these procedures. Check that you're doing things correctly.
