Oh, that hurts. I run it on ordinary Win98SE, and the friend of mine works with it in Win2000. However, if your system running WinNT and the software wasn't designed to work under this OS, that is disappointing.

It appears to me so far that it also doesn't run in original Win98 (not SE).

John, I'm second to your opinion. I was wondering why people continue to complain heavily about Nikon Scan after ver. 3.1.2 became available. I'm not a programmer, and wouldn't mind how exactly it was written and why they chosen particular style of programming, but rather enjoyed the software working stable, delivering predictable results in most cases (more then 90 % of cases) and UI is intuitive enough to allow ordinary no BSc in Computer Science holding users to process their work quickly. (I don't think my electronics engineering education and experience have something to do helping me out to understand usage of UI of Nikon Scan).

I use Nikon scan all the time and I use Windows. The earlier NS did have an awful interface, but the current one is very user friendly. And the end product is excellent scans from pos and neg, in fact far superior to Vuescan which I have stopped using due to its erratic colour correction (I mean green skin tones for one) On top of that NS just keeps on going even on a full day scanning section John Bradbury ! Anthony Atkielski writes: The conflict between the Nikon Scan interface and that of Windows generally is obvious even to the novice, and indeed, someone who has used only Windows interfaces is probably the most likely to be disoriented by Nikon's departure from the norm. It's time-consuming figure out how to make rollers and drawers work in this program, when these inteface widgets are not used by any other Windows software.

No problems here... had terrible luck with 3.1 and 3.1.1... version 3.1.2 is fine... the problem with the earlier versions was my dual cpu... Nikon couldn't handle it... yes, it was a Nikon Software problem... a solution was to reboot in single cpu mode... which i refused to do... so used VueScan. With 3.1.2 the problem has been rectified. And, touch wood, NikonScan... just hums along... BTW am using W2K Pro.

Mark writes: Vuescan also has a fairly poor interface ... True, but I believe that's because Ed spends his time getting the product to do what it is supposed to do, and getting it to do it well. Therefore, like you, I'm willing to overlook the less-than-perfect interface. It does conform to Windows standards, for the most part, it's just not very friendly. The situation with Nikon Scan is different. It takes a lot of time to create curvy-smooth 3-D effects that are independent of Windows APIs, and pretty buttons that gleam when you click them, and so on. All of this is time _not_ spent on making the product work. That is why I find it puerile and the mark of poor software engineering. Until you have a product that works perfectly and well, it's quite irresponsible to waste a lot of time and resources making it look pretty on the screen, particularly when your version of prettiness conflicts with established standards for the environment. As I've already indicated, this sort of mistake absolutely reeks of the clueless newbie programmer--it is the schoolgirl style of software development.

Norm writes: The Nikon 3.1 is about as inept a piece of software as I have ever used. Non intuitive system with windows and controls scattered about without any apparent logic. As far as I can tell, Nikon Scan was designed and written by high-school students. Nobody else would be inexperienced and naïve enough to put a higher priority on cool, unconventional 3-D effects for buttons and dialog boxes than on ease of use and reliability. This illustrates what seems to be a rule with computers: The better the hardware, the worse the software. It's as if no company can afford to be good at both ... which may well be true. HP makes nice hardware, and so does Nikon--but their software is a nightmare. Conversely, Microsoft makes good software, but their hardware (such as it is) leaves much to be desired.
