What problems? Details.

Install the card in a PCI slot in the computer. (With the computer unplugged
from power! )

The driver for the AVA-2906 is imbedded within the Windows XP Operating
System and Windows XP, should automatically detect the AVA-2906 after it has
been installed in the computer and Windows XP should properly install driver
for the Adaptec SCSI card.

The SCSI Card description in Device Manager for the controller will be
displayed as an AIC-7850, which is the chipset that is used on of the
controller.


Windows XP requires ASPI from Adaptec to be installed for SCSI scanners.

Software downloads.
Click:
Current Versions of Nikon Software

Scroll down to near the bottom of page to:
NIKON SCAN
For control of SCSI Nikon film Scanners

Download the version for windows. (This is the TWAIN driver). You will need
some TWAIN capable Photo Editor such as Irfanview (free) or Photoshop
Elements 2.0.

The TWAIN driver is found on the File menu. Most editors have a Select TWAIN
source, then a Acquire menu item.
