Thanks for the thought, Sygnus, but I think that for some reason the Nikon Scan software never installed. The path on my C: is different from yours, so the problem is there...
your path C:\Program Files (86)\Nikon\NkScan4\
mine C:\Program Files (86)\Common Files\Nikon\Driver
I don't have a Nikon folder under Program Files (86)--I have to go into Common Files to find the Nikon Folder, and then, in that Nikon Folder there is a Driver file but no NkScan4. I don't know why this is the case, but it explains why your fix for the driver works like a charm and also(possibly) why I can't open the Scan 4 software.
Oddly, in my programs menu, I have a link to Scan 4, which will not open, and a link to the Scan 4 Read Me file, which does open. Hmm.
So I uninstalled Nikon Scan, rebooted, then reinstalled Nikon 4.0.3 from the Nikon site, installed, rebooted. Still no Nikon Scan software, but your driver fix is still fine. Scanner is plugged in and recognized by the system, but no software to do any work.
Where have I screwed up? What is preventing the Scan software from installing?
thanks for any additional advice!
