OS 11 --> Weird problem

John, I remember the trouble I had installing my Epson V500 under W10. The
trick was to install the software from the CD and right click on the file
escndv.exe  in the epson folder under program files (x86). There you can
change compatibility mode to an earlier windows version. I choose Vista at
the time and the professional Epson mode has been working fine. My worries
are whether this trick will also work under W11.
You will have to wait forever for a new driver and software  from Epson for
this old model scanner.

I've also been using W11 since it came out, and it has been basically rock
solid - I now have it on a desktop and two laptops, one
of which is 10 years old.
I'll be very happy to see new drivers from Epson for the V500, mine played
up last time I used it, in that the interface refused to
allow the Professional feature to be used.

Problem solved in a long call with Apple support. It seems something

It’s an M1 Mac mini, running Ventura. The old Mac mini turned belly-up a

Anyone having a similar problem? Anyone have a fix?

I fired up the Epson software after trying Henk's suggestion, and while it allowed me to select Professional mode, I never got to
see a 'Scan' button!  So I fired up VueScan 64, Version 6497 from April 2022, and it immediately offered me the latest upgrade.
Installed it, and  - Lo and Behold! After working out the interface, I am cheerfully scanning some Kodachrome 64.
I do find you need to thoroughly understand the way all the parameters need to be set under the VueScan interface, but it does work
well under W11.

Thanks for the help!
