RE: filmscanners: Nikon Scan 3.1.1 ?

My impression was it was not the drivers that were the problem (maybe I 
mean not not ONLY the drivers), but memory management.

For the record I use Nikonscan 3.1 on my LS2000 with single processor 
Pentium III 500MHz 768MB RAM Windows 98 non-SE, and it crashes 
regularly.  It is the only programme that crashes my system reliably these 
days.

There was a thread a while ago about WIn98 non-SE having problems with more 
than 512MB RAM with Nikonscan, bit I think I had the same number of crashes 
with less than 500MB before I upgraded.  I am not sure about this so maybe 
I should try it again.  Does anyone know how to set up the computer to use 
only 512 RAM from the desktop rather than removing it physically?
