i think you will require the ASPI software installed in XP. Go to
adaptec.com and get the latest version, install, and run ASPICHK to
verify everything is ok.

A quick way to test, even if NS won't work is to download a trial of
Vuescan and try it. Then at least you know the hardware is working and
you can fight with NS if needed.

Go to Adaptec's web site and get the ASPI package and
install it.

You need Nikon Scan ver. 3.1.2 it is the only one that will work. You
also need Adaptec's ASPI driver installed per instructions. Did this
last year.
