I have to agree.
I run NikonScan on my elderly laptop equipped with Celeron 300 MHz and 192
MB memory with IV ED, (this is the only PC I have right now), and didn't
noticed any sign of software instability.
I didn't find the interface being so bad as you stated, I found it to be
quite simple for understanding yet featured powerful things.
Furthermore, recently I started to run it through TWAIN scanning into
Photoshop on the same machine - no problems either.

Regards,
Alex Z

You must be  a computer techno to say that. I totally disagree with
everything in your message.

Nikon Scan is an ergonomic failure, independently of its performance and
reliability.  The software is very poorly designed, and almost as poorly
coded.

I run Nikon Scan 3.1.2 with 1.5 GB of RAM (the maximum I can fit on the
machine) and it runs fine, as far as I can tell.  But the program interface
is still a joke.  I would have preferred something that at least conforms to
Windows standards, even if it might mean fewer pretty lights and less
smooth, sculpted 3-D aesthetics.
