I believe that it was either a trial version of Silverfast or a bad version
of NikonScan that caused the problem with version 3.1. I've since
uninstalled SF and reinstalled NS3.1 and had no further problems with it.
It is, however, frustratingly slow as compared to Vuescan. I have HS3.1
working now with Win2K/SP2.
The better version of the NikonScan 3.1 package comes from nikon-euro.com.
I originally used the version from nikontechusa.com which didn't include
the regsweeper utility.
Unless there's a serious virus infestation or disk hardware problems it is
almost never necessary to reformat a disk and completely reinstall Windows.
In my opinion that sort of advice comes from inexperienced tech support
drones who want to get customers off the phone as quickly as possible. I've
owned three generations of Dell workstations and have never been asked to
do that by Dell techs.
