If you ever priced pro Fuji slide film in Australia you would understand why! I started with all of my BW film and even got to mix some five year old XTOL, stop bath and fixer and have it all work without fault. I borrowed a Nikon 8000 scanner from my Leica dealer for the 120 film and I have the Coolscan V for 35mm Nikon stopped supporting these scanners at Vista 32 bit. I thought this might be useful to others. A little searching found this very helpful post in a Windows 7 forum. http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/44994-getting-your-nikon-coolscan-work-w7-x64.html I followed the instructions and the Nikon Scan software works correctly for me with no further workarounds despite Nikon Support saying that it will not work. Vuescan works independently from the workaround, Nikon drivers and scan program. I just find the quirky Nikon scan program easier to use for batch scanning (aka I haven't worked out the equivalent in Vuescan Pro as yet since I haven't shot film to scan for five years or so to scan. At the end of my film stocks I can retire the film scanners.... except for the thousands of frames I never got around to sorting and digitising once I got my M8!
