Check
concerning Windows 95 and 98 machines with more than 512MB of RAM - maybe
(?) it will help.

| My impression was it was not the drivers that were the problem (maybe I
| mean not not ONLY the drivers), but memory management.
|
| For the record I use Nikonscan 3.1 on my LS2000 with single processor
| Pentium III 500MHz 768MB RAM Windows 98 non-SE, and it crashes
| regularly. It is the only programme that crashes my system reliably these
| days.
|
| There was a thread a while ago about WIn98 non-SE having problems with
more
| than 512MB RAM with Nikonscan, bit I think I had the same number of
crashes
| with less than 500MB before I upgraded. I am not sure about this so maybe
| I should try it again. Does anyone know how to set up the computer to use
| only 512 RAM from the desktop rather than removing it physically?
