Just mentioning this, because I tried it myself. If you don't do so, but think you can bypass the Control Panel by just directly opening the Devices and Printers command link from the fixed menu on the right side of the Start Menu, it won't work. This works perfectly if you just follow the exact instructions. There is a step in setting up the new 1394 driver for W7-64, that asks the user to go to the Control Panel\Device Manager to right click on the resulting unknown device you've just created and right-click it to browse for the driver to install. Although I had found the link previously with a search engine, I didn't have the nerve to try it until someone with my exact computer specs and scanner (Nikon CS 9000) had confirmed that it works and didn't create more problems after installing it.Įverything works very well on my Windows 7 64-bit machine, and I can finally scan again without having to use my very old (circa 1996) legacy Vista desktop that goes back to Windows 2000 days and has got to be on its very last legs, with failure hanging like a cloud over its hard drives.This is great! Thanks very much for the link, and especially the report about trying it. I know I'm very late to the party at this thread, but at least I finally got here.
I followed these instructions and now have my 9000 scanner working using Nikon Scan 4.03.
