You cannot use dICE on silver halide based films. The silver is opaque to IR light so it ends up trying to subtract your whole image, which it assumes is dirt or surface damage.
Color films, of negative or positive types, chromagenic black and white, have almost all silver left in them after they are processed so that problem is resolved. Some Kodachrome dyes are slightly opaque to IR light also, and that can also could problems with certain vintages of Kodachrome slides when scanning.
