Looks like the folks at Hobby International airport in Houston need to
look into OSX.
It's been frozen for an hour, someone should call the Geek Squad.

after the normal colored pixel blur i hit ctrl+alt+esc and or ctrl+alt+del for the taskmanager. this showed up a minuet later
The Graphics card failed during a scan but I finished it then the whole system died and a restart and power off and Ctrl+A failed too
THIS FAILS TOO!
The scanner is frozen mid-scan too. Images are on the USB drive!!

Why is my laserssoft ai v6.62 not seeing all the slides in my Polaoid sprintscan 4000
When LaserSoft Ai Studio isn't seeing all the slides in your Polaroid SprintScan 4000, it's often due to an issue with frame detection or the physical alignment of the slides. The software, particularly older versions like v6.62, can be finicky about how the slides are positioned in the film holder.
Common Causes and Solutions
Automatic Frame Detection: SilverFast software has an "Auto Frame Alignment" or "Automatic Frame Detection" feature. If this is not working correctly, the software may fail to identify all the separate frames. This can be particularly problematic with older or non-standard slide mounts.
Solution: Try manually adjusting the scan frames. You can often draw a new frame box for each slide that the software missed.
Physical Alignment and the Holder: The physical film holder that came with the SprintScan 4000 is designed to hold up to four mounted slides. The scanner and software rely on the precise placement of these slides. If a slide is not seated correctly, or if the film holder itself is slightly warped or damaged, the scanner may not be able to "see" it properly. The spring-loaded fingers that hold the slides in place can also be a source of problems.
Solution: Carefully inspect the film holder for any damage. Ensure each slide is firmly and correctly seated. Make sure the holder is inserted fully and smoothly into the scanner.
Software and Hardware Issues: While less common for this specific problem, there can be other underlying issues. Older software versions might have bugs or compatibility issues with your computer's operating system.
Solution: You might consider checking for updates to your version of SilverFast or looking into alternative scanning software like VueScan, which is known for its compatibility with a wide range of older scanners and has its own drivers.

You can often draw a new frame box for each slide that the software missed. ???
My apologies for not being more clear. The phrase "you can often draw a new frame box" refers to the manual controls within the LaserSoft Ai Studio (also known as SilverFast Ai Studio) software.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of what that means and how to do it in practice:
What is a "Frame Box"?
When you do a prescan in SilverFast, the software analyzes the image and automatically places a red rectangle, or "frame box," around each detected slide. This box is the cropping boundary for the final, high-resolution scan. The software uses these boxes to know what to scan and what to ignore.
Why Manual Drawing is Necessary
The automatic frame detection is not perfect, especially with older scanners and older software versions like v6.62. It can fail to detect a slide for several reasons, including:
The slide is slightly misaligned in the holder.
The slide mount is a non-standard size or color.
The image itself is very dark, making it hard for the software to find the edges.
The slide is not fully inserted into the holder, so part of it is outside the scanner's view.
In these cases, the software might not place a frame box at all, or it might place one that's too small, too large, or incorrectly positioned.
How to Manually Draw a New Frame Box
The process is generally straightforward, though the exact steps and button names might vary slightly between different versions of SilverFast Ai Studio (v6.62 will have a different user interface than later versions like 8 or 9).
Do a Prescan: First, you need to perform a low-resolution prescan of the entire film holder. This gives you a preview image of all four slides on your computer screen.
Locate the Missing Slide: On the preview screen, you'll see the slides that the software detected (with a red box around them) and the slides it missed (without a box).
Draw the New Frame: You typically use a "Marquee" or "Frame" tool (often represented by a square or rectangle icon).
Click and hold your mouse button just outside one corner of the slide that was missed.
Drag the mouse diagonally across the slide until you've enclosed the entire image.
Release the mouse button. The software should now draw a new red frame box around that slide.
Adjust the Frame: Once the new frame is drawn, you can fine-tune it.
Move: Click and drag the box to reposition it.
Resize: Grab the corners or the sides of the box to make it larger or smaller.
Rotate: Some versions allow you to rotate the frame if the slide is not perfectly straight.
By manually creating and adjusting these frame boxes, you ensure that every slide is correctly cropped and ready for the final, high-quality scan. This is a common and essential step when dealing with batch scanning of slides, especially if the automatic detection isn't working as intended.
It has had no troble before in seeing very dark slides, now i wont see slide number 4 in a prescan and the silverfast ai is not doing a precan of the holdr locking up and wont eject the holder or Quit
The behavior you're describing—the software not seeing the fourth slide and then locking up—points to a hardware communication issue, a corrupted software setting, or a conflict with your computer's operating system. This is a common problem with older scanners and their drivers, especially when used with modern operating systems.
1. Force Quit the Application
Since SilverFast is locked up, you need to first regain control of your computer and eject the holder. Do not manually pull the holder out. This can damage the scanner's internal mechanism.
On Windows: Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and open the Task Manager. Find the SilverFast process in the list, click on it, and then click "End Task."
On macOS: Press Command + Option + Esc to open the Force Quit Applications window. Select SilverFast from the list and click "Force Quit."
2. Reset the Scanner and Software
Once the software is closed, you must reset the entire system.
Power down the scanner. Turn off the Polaroid SprintScan 4000 using its power switch. Wait about 30 seconds.
Manually eject the holder. After the scanner has been powered off for a moment, the holder should unlock. You can then carefully pull it out.
Power on the scanner. Turn the scanner back on. Wait for it to complete its initialization cycle (the internal motors and lights will move).
Restart your computer. A full system restart is often necessary to clear any lingering software or driver conflicts.
3. Diagnose the Specific Problem
After restarting, insert the film holder into the scanner before you open SilverFast. This is a crucial step to ensure the software properly detects the device and the media.
Corrupted Preferences: Older versions of SilverFast, especially v6.62, are known to have issues where the preferences files become corrupted, leading to strange behavior like freezing and not detecting frames. The "prefs" folder contains settings for the software and can be a source of problems. Deleting this folder will force SilverFast to create new, clean preferences files the next time it starts up. This will reset all your settings, but it's often the best solution for freezing issues. A quick search of your system for "SilverFast Prefs" should show you the location of the folder.
Physical Issues: Even if a dark slide scanned before, there might be a new, subtle physical problem. Carefully inspect the fourth slide's mount and the corresponding slot in the holder. Look for any debris, a slight warp in the plastic, or a slide that isn't fully seated. A small speck of dust or a minor misalignment can disrupt the scanner's light sensor, causing it to fail to recognize the frame's edge.
Autofocus Failure: A known issue with the Polaroid SprintScan 4000 is that the autofocus feature can sometimes fail or hang, especially with specific software versions. You can try disabling autofocus in SilverFast's settings and see if the prescan works correctly.
Since the scanner is freezing, the issue is likely a software or driver conflict between the outdated v6.62 and your current operating system, or a corrupted preferences file. Force-quitting and restarting everything is the first step, but if the problem persists, clearing the preferences is the most likely solution.
They are good tips.. I am running WIN 7 on a rebuilt PC to see the SCSI card. Sometimes Silverfast says there is no Scanner. I often have to reboot the PC use Task Manager etc Now the scanner just started doing a prescan of the holder by it self as I read your response. and just again... But Silverfast wont scan the only 3 slides the scanner picked up. It keeps missing number 4
Based on the symptoms you're describing, the problem isn't just with the software not seeing the slides. It's a deeper SCSI communication issue. The fact that SilverFast says "no scanner" sometimes, you have to reboot, and the scanner is doing a prescan on its own points to a lost connection between your PC, the card, and the scanner.
The spontaneous prescan is likely the scanner's way of re-initializing because it's lost its connection to the host PC and is attempting to find a working state again. SilverFast is then failing to scan the slides it did find because the communication link is too unstable to complete a full scan.
Here's how to address these persistent SCSI connection issues:
1. Check the Physical SCSI Setup
Even on a rebuilt PC with Windows 7, a stable physical connection is the first and most critical step.
SCSI Termination: The SprintScan 4000 has a built-in terminator. Make sure there are no other devices on the SCSI chain and that the scanner is the last and only device connected to the SCSI card. An improper or missing terminator can cause data corruption and connection loss.
SCSI Cable: An old or damaged SCSI cable can be a source of intermittent connectivity issues. Check the cable for any signs of wear, especially at the connectors. Try a different cable if you have one.
Now it restarted after I restarted SilverFast with an old prescan image loaded... random slide prescanned.. I just hit Scan and away the SprintScan 4000 went scanning at 3200dpi. But doing an old selection I used to do 3 scans. It did a slide scan BUT SilverFast showed SIX images in the Overview, thinking it was a NEGATIVE.. I clicked overview again, and the slides were shown again but NOT number 4. I am keeping these notes to show a technician if I need to.
These notes are excellent. You've just stumbled upon a classic symptom of an unstable SCSI connection and a software bug that's being triggered by that instability. The combination of your notes paints a very clear picture.
Here's an analysis of what you've just observed, building on my previous suggestions:
1. The Spontaneous Prescan and the "No Scanner" Message
Diagnosis: The scanner's hardware is losing and regaining communication with the PC. When the connection is lost, the scanner goes into a standby or "re-initialization" mode, which might include doing a spontaneous prescan of the last-known holder location to try and find its place again. When the connection is regained, it tries to continue the last command (the prescan). The "no scanner" message is the direct result of this communication dropout.
Actionable Advice: This confirms that the SCSI connection is the root cause. A simple reboot might fix it temporarily, but it's not a solution. You must address the physical and driver-level issues I mentioned earlier.
Physical: Check the SCSI card seating, the cable, and the terminator (or the single-device setup on the chain).
Driver: Look for a Windows 7-compatible ASPI driver for your SCSI card. This is often the most overlooked component and a common source of these problems.
2. The Overview Showing a Negative (Six Images)
Diagnosis: This is a software bug in SilverFast v6.62. When the communication between the scanner and the software is unstable, the data stream can become corrupted. The software's "film type" detection algorithm gets confused and misinterprets the data. Instead of seeing four slide images, it's interpreting the corrupted data as a negative strip. Negative strips are typically longer and divided into more frames (usually 6) than a slide holder (4). This is why you saw six frames.
Actionable Advice: This is a clear indication that the data being sent from the scanner to the software is being jumbled. This is almost certainly a direct consequence of the unstable SCSI connection. Fixing the SCSI problem will likely eliminate this bizarre behavior.
3. Missing Slide Number 4
Diagnosis: This is also related to the same communication problem. The software's initial prescan command (or the data coming back from it) is getting corrupted. The scanner might be successfully scanning all four slides, but the data for the fourth slide is getting lost, dropped, or corrupted on the way back to the PC via the unstable SCSI connection. This is why the overview only shows three slides, even though the scanner did a full prescan of the entire holder.
Summary of What You've Learned
Your technician notes are perfect. They show a clear progression of an unstable system:
Initial Problem: Software doesn't see all slides (likely a minor communication glitch).
Escalation: The software and scanner freeze and require a hard reboot, pointing to a severe communication failure.
Further Breakdown: The scanner starts acting on its own, and the software misinterprets the data entirely (slides are seen as negatives with the wrong number of frames). This is the smoking gun that confirms a communication breakdown at the hardware/driver level.
The technician will immediately recognize this as a classic SCSI chain problem. The first things they will check are the physical cable, the card's seating in the motherboard, and the system's driver configuration, particularly the ASPI layer. Getting that rock-solid is the only way to solve the other strange behaviors you're seeing in SilverFast.
This is a comprehensive and informative response...
Thanks! I'm glad I could help. The issues you're facing with the Polaroid SprintScan 4000 are classic for older hardware like this. The combination of an outdated SCSI protocol, an old operating system, and a specific software version creates a lot of potential points of failure.
Keeping these detailed notes on the scanner's behavior is definitely the best way to get a clear diagnosis. It's often the small, random glitches—like the software misinterpreting the slides as a negative strip—that reveal the true nature of the problem, which in this case is a faulty communication link.
If you have any more questions as you continue to troubleshoot, or if you want to explore other options like different scanning software, just let me know.

Got the 3 scans but attempt to scan the blank No 4 causes SilverFast to lock up and needs TaskManager to Kill it.. Can't even eject the carrier..
Now can only get 3 slides to show!! Using WORD now for this! Calibri 14point!
The new taskmanager is a great improvement. Its starting to feel more and more like Process Explorer.
