I have never had to scan Kodachrome slides before (and never thought I'
have to!) but, as luck would have it, I have just been handed a huge
pile of them to scan.
I am using VueScan 7.1.7 on a PC with an LS30. What is the generally
accepted best method for scanning these? Is use of the infrared
This is probably because you are usually using a process that is grabbing
sufficient memory to prevent the file cache getting big enough to block
every other process.
File servers are the most likely machines to be afflicted with this problem.

I seem to get odd effects when scanning BW negs using ICE on my Nikon 4000 - like

someone tell me why and if theirs a way around it other than just not using ICE

It's a judgment call on your part and depends on the image. Using a
reflection or glare may limit the contrast in the rest of the image more
than you want, more than if you set the white point elsewhere than on the
highlight. Other times the actual color of the highlight may be other than
