Nikon coolscan V ED driver for windows vista 64-bit.I have installed the latest software from Nikon to work with my Nikon Coolscan V ED. It is version 4.0.3.
I have loaded this software on my Windows Vista 32 bit laptop and the scanner driver loaded without a problem. I then tryed to get the Coolscan to work with my Windows Vista 64 bit PC without success. I don't understand why Windows Vista 64 bit has a Programs(x86) section for working with 32-bit software and drivers but the drivers do not work with this OS?
How can I get the drivers to work with my 64 bit OS? I then tryed to get the Coolscan to work with my Windows Vista 64 bit PC without success.
How can I get the drivers to work with my 64 bit OS?Hi, you won't get NikonScan running on your 64bit system. Nikon officially canceled supporting Vista 64 (as well as Mac OS X 10.5 and later).Best software for your Nikon and Vista 64 is SilverFast: www.silverfast.com/show/scanners-nikon/en.htmlIt does not only run the scanner as a driver, it comes with a whole bunch of nice features for enhancing scan quality.
Well folks,I have 'solved' a problem for Super Coolscan 5000 ED Nikon driver under Windows 7 x64.Actually, I just fooled the system by installing Nikon Scan and driver on Virtual PC:)It is not a nice solution, but it acceptable for me. Install Windows XP RC mode for Windows 7 x64 - you can download it from Microsoft site. Search for Virtual PC for Win7 and you will find it. Install it and start the VPC.
Driver For Nikon Coolscan V
Install windows updates on VPC.After that install Nicon Scan software on this VPC. Turn on the scanner and 'attach' it to the VPC - the USB menu in VPC top frame shows a list of available USB devices.I solved it 3 days ago and successfully scanned several films already:)P.S.
If your PC is strong enough - give 1GB of memory to VPC, it will work faster. The default is 512MB, which is not enough for comfortable scan.Good luck.Vadim. Hi, I faced similar problem and I'm glad someone got through.My challenge though was using Nikon Scan 4.02 with Windows XP Professional x64.
I did not find any hints, unlike for Vista x64, on the Internet. I was ready to bother myself with VMWare, but (luckily?) it failed with BSOD in guest OS (Windows XP 32-bit) USB driver.I hat no choice, so I followed the pattern proposed for Vista:. install a demo version of an application which incorporates 64-bit drivers for my Nikon Coolscan V ED (like SilverFast or VueScan).

Nikon Coolscan V Ed Vs Plustek 8200i
You can imagine how happy I am now:-)Blame on Nikon software engineers who don't care of any solution while they do have 64-bit drivers (SilverFast claims to use standard drivers from Nikon) and the software itself runs on 64-bit just perfect. This did the trick for me with a couple of slight changes. I had to copy mfc70.dll, msvcr70.dll and msvcp70.dll to the program filesnikon directory. I also had to copy StdFilters2.dll to the windowssystem32 directory. I also changed the compatibility mode of the Nikon Scan.exe to 'windows 2000' - although I'm not sure if this step is necessary. So far it's working fine under Windows Vista Home Prem - 64 bit. Thanks for posting this.I like the batch scan mode of the Nikon software and didn't want to have to switch to other alternatives.
Personally, I am so disgusted with Nikon, a multi-billion dollar company, that will not bother to writed updated drivers for their products - Such as the Nikon Coolscan 5000 ED. That I will never again buy a Nikon Camera, Nikon lens, or Nikon scanner. Or any product manufactured by Nikon. I will use Minolta or Canon.
Nikon can kiss me goodbye as a customer. The bullshit I have had to go through to get my scanner to work on Vista should never have been allowed by a company that is supposed to be a leader in the industry.Dennis HoppeFrisco, Texas.
