I find Nikon's latest software to be great - all you are doing is scanning.  It's much better to do any adjusting in PhotoShop anyway.

I've finally dragged myself kicking and screaming into the digital age, at least party, and bought a second-hand Minolta Scan Dual II. I'll be scanning B&W only, and only for web use.

I've just tried a test scan (why is it every time I type "scan" it comes out "scam"?!) with the supplied software, which seems to be easy enough to use.

But, since I'm new to this, does anyone have a better suggestion for software for this scanner?  Vuescan?
