John:
You haven't provided a great deal of information so it's hard to diagnose.
Are you using a Mac or a PC? What version of the operating system are you
using? How much memory do you have? How large is the swap file on the disk?
What version of VueScan are you using? How often does this occur (i.e. once
in a strip of 6 negs), when does it occur (i.e. the fifth neg in the strip),
etc.
On the surface it sounds to me like a memory problem in that you may not
have enough memory to store all the scanned images and when it tries to
write or read the information to or from the swap file on the disk it fails.
I offer this as I use VueScan for both negs and slides and haven't seen this
but I have 256mb of memory and a huge swap file on my disk so that may be
the solution.

Subject: [filmscanners] vuescan problem
Ever since I started to scan color negatives with vuescan
(on SS4000) I periodically get scans that differ greatly
from the preview. Usually with a much narrower range of
values and odd casts, often a bright, almost solarized blue
cast in white highlights and more recently an overall green
cast. This makes batch scanning impossible because somewhere
in the strip the scans eventually start having these
properties. The only way to get rid of this behavior is to
close down the program and rescan. I've raised the problem
with Ed once or twice over the past few years but never got
a solution. Except for these cases I like the scans I am
getting so I put up with this but it is frustrating and
time-wasting.
Anyone else have this problem, or even better, have a
solution to it.
