In speaking with the Nikon rep here in Canada, I was informed that the crashes are unique to situations where Photoshop Vs. 6 is being used. Evidently, crashes do not occur with the previous version 5. >>> "Manfred E. Bendisch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2001/06/02 5:36:30 PM >>> Hello list members, today I've received my new Nikon LS-4000. What a difference compared to my old HP photosmart. The problem is that the Nikon scanner software (Nikon Scan 3.0) constantly crashes, especially when I try to use ICE or other advanced features. I'm running Windows 98 Second Edition. Any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks, Manfred.
