I agree. I think I did solve the Vuescan problem by reinstalling it
with the LS-4000 installed and initialized. I also discovered that if
you let Vuescan use it's 'Generic' setting for scanning slides it's
works much better (for me). I had it set for 'Kodachrome' initially
and the blue cast was overwhelming, probably because many of my slides
are 20+ years old. Funny though Nikon Scan had not problem with that,
but it doesn't have the dust/scratch removal feature that Vuescan has
which can be a lifesaver with old slides.

I'm slowly climbing the learning curve but getting there.
