#Nikon scan for vista 64 install
I thought about to install a dual boot Windows XP just for film scanning purpose, but I felt it should be the last way I want to go.Īfter some research on the Nikon Scan driver and VueScan driver, finally I find a perfect way to DIY my own driver, actually it is a combination of VueScan/NS driver files. But after I installed Vista Ultimate X64 with SP1, I was too disappointed to find my 8000ED will never be supported by Nikon in X64 build windows.Īfter some searching, I found 5000ED can be driven by Vuescan driver in Vista 64, but 8000ED can't be supported in the same way. Yesterday, I upgrade my PC to Quid core Q8200 with 8G RAM and 1.2TB raid0 disks, want to enjoy the huge performance boosting for film scanning/processing.
I knew someone has been looking for this for a long time, but shame Nikon never gonna to do this for our Nikon scanner users, even it may cost very little effort to do it.
