When attempting to use VueScan with my Nikon LS-4000 ED 35mm film scanner, I get the start-up message, “No scanner was found attached to your computer”. Even though: - The LS-4000 ED with IEEE 1394 output appears on the Win 7 Device List with status, “This device is working properly”. - An Epson Expression 1680 Flatbed Scanner on a USB port works fine. - All connection and power-up sequences have been tried with no success. The LS-4000 ED is connected as the only device on the Firewire port of my 32-bit Sony Vaio VGN-FE770G laptop running the current release of Windows 7 and VueScan 9x32 (9.5.08) Pro.
It also fails to be found when connected through an alternate cable as the only device on an IEEE 1394 PCMCIA card on the Vaio Help! After months of fruitless rebooting, replugging, and reloading I’m going nuts. Then, on rare occasions, it works for a few minutes. Then vanishes.Now that really does sound to me like the problem might be in the cable or connectors themselves.
Just in case you don't have the manual, here is the page from the CoolScan 9000. I don't expect it will be much help. On another front: Have you got the proper Device Managers?
Will the old ones work with a more recent version of Windows? Maybe Windows 7 is too new and you will have to do as I did and use it with an older machine that the scanner will work with (Mac in my case, but same t'ing). Old computers of that vintage with contemporary (XP, 2000, Me) OSs are very inexpensive if you can find them and they may even work with the Nikon software, as mine does, although I like VueScan very much. Sounds very similar to my problem I had on my old Canon Scanner. I have a W7 64bit pro computer that suddenly stopped being able to find my scanner. It took me some time to find that the TWAIN path was missing.
I don't know how it got lost (I blame the frequent Windows updates) but all was restored once I had put the missing path back. The problem may be different on your PC with a Nikon scanner but this link might help. Nikon scanners are fussy about which Firewire card is installed in the host.
They recommend the simple little card which came with the scanner. In general, a Texas Instruments controller is required, using the 'legacy' drivers instead of the updated Win7 drivers. Firewire cards are relatively inexpensive ($35), so you might try that route.
Their specs will generally list which chip is used. If that doesn't work, see if you can make it work on a different computer. Free download mp3 lagu arab umi kulsum. I cannot make my HP workstation recognize a Nikon scanner, however a Lenovo laptop works just fine.
Microsoft has a Windows XP virtual window that runs under Windows 7. It has access to USB, but I'm not sure about Firewire. There are also drivers for Windows Vista that run under 7, but Nikonscan is still not compatible. If you need to update the firmware, the Vista drivers may work. Once Windows recognizes the scanner, you can check the firmware version using 'Device Manager.' You can load a trial version of Silverfast with all the necessary drivers. It's fully functional, except for a 'DEMO' logo sprinkled throughout the scanned image.
