Windows 7 and older scanners (Nikon, Konica Minolta)

I have performed the trick described in my previous post with three scanners since (Scan Dual III and two IV's), both on Win7 32 & 64 bit and it worked like a charm...

I tried to do this on a new computer I bought 2 days ago. Nothing else is installed there yet except Elements 9 and, now, PS6.
Actually I decided to buy Vuescan but I miss the ease of function and speed I had already achieved with the Minolta software. I guess I'll have to preserve the older computer under Windows XP until I can figure out how to make Vuescan work speedily.
Thank you for your help.

Thanks again, I was assuming that would be the case, but you know what they say about assuming anything.

It has been a while since I did the setup, but I followed these instructions and I recall it going pretty smoothly.

I ran this same setup and can use a Nikon 9000 ED on Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit just fine. I use the Nikon Scan 4 software for scanning as it seemed easiest to use and did everything I wanted.
