Any one else have problems with NikonScan 4.0 crashing?
I thought it might just be with the bulk feeder, but I'm running into
the same thing with film strips. (positives)
It may run for an hour, or it may hang when you insert the film strip,
but usually after it's been running for a while.
Temperatures are normal. VPU is 53, system 38, and there is good air
circulation around the LS 5000 ED.
When I say, hang, I mean the kind where it won't even acknowledge the
three finger salute. Everything freezes.
I thought it might be temperature related, but it's a good 10 degrees
(F) cooler in here tonight and it's still getting the occasional hang.
Course the soft ware doesn't help.
IF you run the preview (insert a strip of 5 images) and let it create
the previews, then let it set for 10 minutes it's guaranteed to have
the prompter on the screen saying it needs to shut down.
OTOH, when you tell it to shut down, it is slow enough to respond that
XP thinks it crashed and tells you the program is no longer
responding. If you just tell it to ignore, the program will shut down
normally in about 5 to 10 seconds.
Otherwise it seems to run fine and fairly fast when no post processing
is used. (still hangs on occasion though)
Computer is a 2.8 Gig Athlon XP Plus with one gig DDR RAM and XP Pro.
The only time the system crashes is when running Nikon Scan 4.0
