Photoshop CS newbie question.

I've got an old b&w scan from an old negative that looks like it was dropped 
on the floor and some dust thrown on it before it was scanned in my (now 
gone for service) Nikon Film Scanner.

Rescanning the original negative is not an option at least for for another 3 
- 4 weeks. I've tried using the "Dust and Scratch Filter" in Photoshop CS, 
plus some cleanup with the "Clone Stamp" and it is still very dusty and 
scratched looking. 

Is there something else I can try with Photoshop CS or with the Photoshop 
CS2 software I have but not installed yet?

All advice appreciated.

Regards,

Greg
