I had exactly the same problem, the only way to fix it was to re-format
and re-install, not to much tourble for me thank goodness! I didn`t
think it had happened to any one else. I put it down to a program I
installed after Nikon Scan V3.1 that messed the TWAIN up?
Please let me know how you get on.

Subject: filmscanners: Frustrating NikonScan 3.1 Problem
Has anyone had any problems with NikonScan 3.1 in Windows 2000?
NikonScan 3.1 only worked correctly for me for the first two days. After
that it always displayed the message "No active devices found." I looked
in
TWAIN.LOG to see if there were any debug messages (you can usually find
this file in your TEMP folder) and read:
TWAIN_32.DLL - MESSAGE - CTwunk ::AppInitialize - Reset Log
TWAIN_32.DLL - MESSAGE - CTwunk ::OpenServer - Starting Thunker
TWAIN_32.DLL - MESSAGE - CTwunk ::CloseServer - Why Can't We Find The
Thunker Window?
Despite NikonScan's inability to find the "thunker" the scanner was
listed
in Device Manager as working properly and Vuescan operated it perfectly.
Specifically this occurred with my Nikon LS-4000 in Windows 2000/SP1.
I've temporarily solved the problem--though I don't know why this
worked--by uninstalling NikonScan 3.1 and reinstalling version 3.0. So
now
all the instability and memory bugs are back but NikonScan recognizes
the
scanner again.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? I wrote with specifics
to
Nikon technical support but if my past experience is any guide they
won't
respond and if they do their answer will be vague if not outright
irrelevant. I used Sysinternal's Regmon and Filemon in addition to a
Registry before and after tool to try and troubleshoot the problem but
found nothing.
