Hi Sandy,
If you have not already tried it, select "NPS160" in your film menu. That 
works pretty well for me.
BUT
You'll have best results scanning in 12 bit and adjusting in Photoshop. 
There's a learning curve for this but its the only way I've found to get 
great results out of the scanner. The 4000 is very good hardware hampered 
by VERY POOR software. 

If you need help, contact me off list.
