Cts Ls40 Driver Download
Tunesha Brown
If you're using Windows and you've installed a Nikon driver, VueScan's built-in drivers won't conflict with this. If you haven't installed a Windows driver for this scanner, VueScan will automatically install a driver.
4) Install Nikon Scan version 4.0.3. During the install process uncheck the box to install the drivers that come with Nikon Scan. These are Vista specific and will NOT work under Windows 10.
Hello, recently I went back to film photography and I found my old Nikon Coolscan LS-40ED. I succesfully installed scanning software (Nikon Scan 3), but I cant install drivers. I suppose they are no longer available on Nikon servers. Please, tell me, what can I do. There are many links on the internet. However, I dont want to get a virus! :-) Thank you for all kind advices!!!
Windows recognizes my LS 40 Ed scanner, but says that there is no driver. Nikon scan 3.1 or 4 does not recognize that a scanner is present, and won't install a new driver. How do I get a driver into the scanner?
If the driver listed is not the right version or operating system, search our driver archive for the correct version. Enter Nikon COOLSCAN IV ED into the search box above and then submit. In the results, choose the best match for your PC and operating system.
Once you have downloaded your new driver, you'll need to install it. In Windows, use a built-in utility called Device Manager, which allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them.
Recommendation: If you are inexperienced with updating Nikon Scanner device drivers, we highly recommend downloading the DriverDoc driver update tool [Download DriverDoc - Product by Solvusoft]. This utility downloads and updates the correct COOLSCAN IV ED (LS-40 ED) driver version automatically, protecting you against installing the wrong drivers.
Additionally, when you use DriverDoc to update your Scanner drivers, you'll also be able to keep all of your other PC drivers updated by utilizing our extensive database of over 2,150,000 drivers (with daily updates), covering all hardware devices.
COOLSCAN IV ED (LS-40 ED) errors can be rooted in an outdated or corrupted device driver. When the operating system that your device depends on gets an update, drivers can suddenly stop working with it. The good news is that the Scanner system driver can always be modified to solve the laptop dilemma.
It is very difficult to find the respective device driver for COOLSCAN IV ED (LS-40 ED)-related hardware because the information and support is hard to find on Nikon's site. Even if you have the expertise, finding, downloading, and updating COOLSCAN IV ED (LS-40 ED) drivers can still be a tedious and messy process. An improper driver download can lead to issues with software and harm the functionality of the computer.
It is generally advised to use a driver software as updates can be time consuming and complex. A good driver update service ensure that you have current compatible drivers and builds a backup of all current drivers before making any changes. Driver backups offer an instant, secure way to restore a driver to an earlier configuration, if needed.
By virtue of your driver solution I was up and running in minutes on my highest spec PC. This will make scanning and editing an altogether MUCH nicer experience. I very much appreciate your effort in making your solution generally available.
Thanks

Many thanks! I've been waiting patiently for Nikon to update the driver for Windows 7 64-bit to work with my Nikon Coolscan V ED. I was disappaointed to find they were not planning an update, since the Coolscan was quite pricey. Your solution works great and your directions were accurate and easy to understand. Invaluable!!
I succesfully installed the driver. There is only on thing I wonder about. I have a LS-50 ED scanner, but the Twain source window has Nikon COOLSCAN V ED 1.02 @ USB as its window name at the top of the window. I don't remember if it was the same on my 32-bit Windows 7 system.
My situation is similar to Marcia's: Nikon LS-5000 ED and Epson V100 Photo/Document Scanner. After reading her comments, I am not going to risk screwing up my Epson scanner driver. Does anyone know a fix for this? I will not do this procedure until someone comes up with a way to that works for both scanners.
With regard to the Anonymous post on November 12th concerning Windows8 driver installs. If you follow Axel's instructions down to and including downloading from Nikon's web site and then follow the additional Windows8 instructions already mentioned then it works a treat. I didn't even need to reinstall the scanner software a second time.
Thanks to Axel and 'anon' from Denmark for the concise windows 8 work around
I was up and running in 10 minutes and after 3 days of use is more stable than on my XP. No print driver clashes.
Got it to work. THANK YOU AXEL! Tried several times to update driver in Device Manager, but no joy. Also tried a very similar process described in SevenForums ( -getting-your-nikon-coolscan-work-w7-x64.html) And I could not update the driver that way either.In the end, I did the sevenforum process but clicked on Axel's file and Success! Not sure why, but I am happy Axel got me where I needed to be. Danke/Merci/Grazzi/Thanks ----Griffy
I also was succesfull in installing the driver required for Nikon Coolscan V in Windows 7. Thank you very much Axel. The German firm that delivered the scanner five years ago, asked 139 euro for "an update" that would make it possible to use the scanner with the newer Windows OS...
What`s wrong with me? Tried your way to get my Nikon LS-5000 running under win 8.1. Problems started shortly after opening the device Manager:found LS-5000ED under OTHER DEVICES. Proceeded precisely as you asked for. Points 2) - 4).Then the problems began: After 4) "Next", I got the message "LS-5000 ED could not be installed. The drivers software for this device was not found. - FINISH". With all the others beeing so delighted with you solution, why can I not get the same results? Greetings from Germany, isi...@t-online.de (please do NOT SHOW my E-Mail-address!)
I just tried many times with the instructions to install my coolscan v ed on windows 8.1 and I always get the same error message:"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting tp install it."
I did everyuthing as indicated.
Any idea someone?
I loaded the Nikon Scan 4.0.3 - Windows Vista software from the Nikon Support, installed it on my HP Laptop with Windows 7 and let the software install the driver for the COOLSCAN IV, turned my COOLSCAN IV on, and I could scan my color negatives imediately.
So, where is the problem?
Axel, Thank you for this method. It worked for my 5000ED, with one remaining issue, which is that I get an error from the scanner when I scan at 16-bit depth. I'll give a little more detail below. I am scanning mostly negatives now, but I have scanned 10,000 slides with this device over the years, and a few more slides recently after I installed it on Win7/64-bit (as described below).
There are several approaches to getting the 5000ED to run on Win7/64, and I tried two before I tried yours. (Perhaps these are, fundamentally, all the same, but I don't know.) Those other two approaches worked, too, until I discovered that the error I was getting very frequently from the scanner was due to trying to scan on 16-bit, and finally concluded that the problem had something to do with the driver. That's what led me (circuitously) to your page. Your approach did not fix the problem either, as I will explain.
One issue I encountered with your approach was that my 5000ED was not identified by windows after I had used the technique from -getting-your-nikon-coolscan-work-w7-x64.html. It showed up as an "unknown device" under USB devices, rather than under imaging devices as a 5000ED. When I tried to update drivers per your instructions, Windows said it could not update the drivers. I fixed this by installing NS 4.03 as you described, and telling the wizard to install the 5000ED drivers. Then the 5000ED showed up under imaging devices and, hallelujah, Windows accepted your installation package. That was nice.
The remaining unsolved issue is that when I scan at 16-bit depth I get an error from the scanner, in a popup box, saying that an error occurred in scanning. This happens every time when I try to scan a strip of negatives using the SA-21 and it happens _almost_ every time when I try to scan a single slide. What is weird is that it will almost always work the second time.
If I select from the top menu Scanner/Settings/Reset to Factory Defaults, I can scan reliably, but only at 8-bit depth. Note that the top menu Settings/Bit Depth shows "none" after resetting to factory defaults, while the Scanner Extras/Scan Bit Depth shows 8. If you set 16 in Scanner Extras/Scan Bit Depth then that sets the Settings/Bit Depth to 16 (but problems start). It seems that you can get back to reliable batch scanning by setting the bit depth to 8 in the Scanner Extras _for all images_.
The key to stopping the bad behavior for me was to reset to factory defaults. I hope this helps someone else.
Since I am essentially scanning for use as a contact sheet, for family snapshots and for the web, I can tolerate scanning in bulk at 8 bits. If I have something I want to edit and print then I can go back and scan it twice to get a 16-bit scan. Still, I would like a fix for this. I strongly suspect that this problem must be in the driver kluge somewhere.
Thanks again. Ben Harding (ben atsign harding.boulder.co.us)
