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.
