Next we need to create a driver for your scanner that is 64 bit compatible. To do so create a new folder anywhere on your system you feel comfortable with. Depending on the scanner model you own copy the two files 'NKScnUSD.dll' and 'Nks1394.inf' or respectively 'NksUSB.inf' which are to be found under 'C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesNikonDriverScan1394' or 'C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesNikonDriverScanUSB' into that folder. Open 'Nks1394.inf' or respectively 'NksUSB.inf' in a text editor of your choice to replace its contents. To do so click into the text box below and press Ctrl+A followed by Ctrl+C to copy the code. Next enter your text editor and press Ctrl+A followed by Ctrl+V to paste the code into the *.inf file.

Right click this entry and select 'Update Driver Software'. Next select 'Browse My Computer' and specify the folder you created before. A warning message will be displayed which you will need to disregard, telling the system to go on with the installation.

Installing and using unsigned drivers on Windows 8

We don't use our scanners on Windows 8 but user feedback tells us that in order to install the driver created above one needs to start Windows 8 in a special mode first. Getting Windows 8 to boot in that mode involves a series of steps of which we provide screen captures below. The screen captures come from a virtual Windows 8 machine and since FireWire devices can't be passed through to that virtual system we won't show the actual driver installation.

There press the 'Restart now' button.

Your system will restart and after a while you'll get to this option screen. On it choose Troubleshoot, then choose 'Advanced options' and finally choose 'Startup Settings' where you'll find yet another Restart button. Press it to reboot to the 'Startup Settings' screen and on it press either 7 or F7 on your keyboard to boot Windows 8 with its driver signature enforcement disabled.

After booting Windows 8 that way choose Search from the Windows 8 menu, enter 'devmgmt.msc' and click on the App found to get to the Device Manager. Now install your driver as detailed above for Windows 7.
