You will not be able to use ICE with b&w as it reacts with the silver in 
the film. You must turn ICE off. If this is the cause of your problem, and 
you wish to use ICE then try Vuescan (do a web search) with is a very good 
and cheap piece of software available for download and which works very 
well with the Coolscan. Long term I have changed to Kodak T-max400CN and 
now shoot all my b&w on that and have no problems.
