Absolutely (one reason why I conservatively stick to Matrox is that - >eventually anyhow - their drivers usually get to be well behaved). > >It may be useful if people suffering Nikonscan crashes could identify >their graphics cards and drivers. nVidia GeForce2 GTS 32 MB DDR, Dell OEM version, adapter BIOS 3.15.0013 using nVidia's Detonator drivers current officially released version (WHQL) 1.2.4.1 dated 16-May-01 The only background program that I have running during scan operations is Tiny Personal Firewall (3252 KB footprint in memory) which presents no conflicts whatsoever and is essentially inactive at the time anyway (ISDN connection rather than always-on). The computer isn't on a network either. No background copy programs, no defraggers and I don't run real-time antivirus either. NS 3.1 can be observed in Task Manager while it's running. While it doesn't impact both CPUs very much it does claim practically all available RAM and virtual memory (99%!). Before I start the application there is approximately 670 MB of free RAM and over nearly 1 GB free unfragmented swapfile available to it. During the scan only a few hundred KB remain free. NS eats all the rest. That's just lousy software engineering.
