I'm unfamiliar with this problem, but I suspect your neg film carrier has developed a problem. Make sure the track on the bottom is clean or grim and grease. If you have not been using the little brush (which either should have come with the scanner new or should have been offered to you ages ago) it is also possible enough dust and such has gotten over the sensor to cause a problem that the brush can't fix now. But that seems unlikely because I believe the sensor is the same for both film carriers.
That leads me to think that perhaps some type of switch that is actuated when you change carriers may be slow or damaged. Before sending it in for repair which can be costly if out of warranty, try a new film carrier or borrow someone else's (maybe your dealer?) to try.
