John:
I have a Coolscan V on an XP box. One day, too, I'll have to upgrade the box 
and OS  There are a number of workarounds to get the scanner and NikonScan 
software to work under Win7. Here's a link to one thread: 
http://photo.net/digital-darkroom-forum/00YhCW.  The other option is to use 
Vuescan which has the necessary drivers.

Subject: [OM] Nikon film scanners

I have a Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED 35mm and medium format film scanner. 
Nikon no longer supports this scanner and Microsoft is abandoning any support 
for its XP operating system early next year. Further, my XP desktop machine may 
be coming to the end of its reliable working life.

I am told that Windows 7 Pro has a "work in XP mode" function through which my 
scanner might / could / should work as if the Win 7 Pro machine was an XP 
machine proper.

Does anyone have experience of "working in XP mode" on a Win 7 Pro machine and 
more particularly whether XP based Nikon film scanners work properly in that XP 
mode?

Thanks

John Hudson
