I have not used my scanner in quite sometime, but every time I try to find the slides under "index scanner" it will not process. It reports: error 29, ICC profile cannot be opened. How do I solve this? HELP!
1) Install all of the usual Minolta software in Vista.
2) Create a new folder somewhere
3) Create a new txt file named minolta.inf and paste this into it:
; scanners.inf -- Test Vista Minolta Film Drivers
;
;
; To remove this driver and install the original
; manufacturer's driver, go into Device Manager,
; open Imaging devices, then click on the scanner name
; with the right mouse button and choose Uninstall.

4. Save file. Turn on scanner and go into device manager and update the old minolta driver with this driver. You may have to manually update it.
5. All the normal Minolta programs now work just fine. Enjoy!
You have to replace the original Konica Minolta driver with the custom one I posted above. Let me try to clarify my seteps.
1) Install the Konica Minolta XP software in Vista.
2) Plug in your DImage Scanner into a USB port and turn it on with the door closed. It will detect and install the original Konica Minolta Driver.
3) Create an empty folder on you harddrive (for instance go to my computer, double click on the c: drive, then right click and create a new folder named newminolta).
4) Open windows notepad and copy the following into it:
; scanners.inf -- Test Vista Minolta Film Drivers
;
;
; To remove this driver and install the original
; manufacturer's driver, go into Device Manager,
; open Imaging devices, then click on the scanner name
; with the right mouse button and choose Uninstall.

5. Now save you new notepad file in the directory you created as newminolta.inf NOT as newminolta.inf.txt or newminolta.txt (i.e. c:\newminolta\newminolta.inf)
6. Go to system control panel (may have to change control panel to classic view to see system).
7. Select Device Manager
8. Select Imaging Devices
9. Right click on Minolta Scan Dual IV and click on driver tab. Select Update Driver.
10. Select Browse my computer for driver software.
11. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
12. Select Have Disk
13. Browse to c:\newminolta\newminolta.inf and click OK
14. Click Next. Vista should now say it updated driver.
15. Run Dimage software with door closed. Wait for it to initialize and green light stops blinking.
16. Open door and insert film holder and start scanning.
This is a lovely post, really community minded. And brief. And written so that even dummies can understand. Good for you KainAnderson!
It worked! I almost tossed my Dimage scanner out, but your solution worked without a hitch. Thanks for sharing - much appreciated.
Many thanks for easy solution - scanner & software now works fine with Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Fantastic many thanks for a simple fix. Saved my dual scan IV from being binned, managed to get the fix to work on win 7 home edition but not not on XP.
This is sooo close - I've tried the above and it nearly works. The Utility now starts up, scanner whirrs a couple of times, then Utility hangs. I'm running Win 7 home premium 64 bit
The driver worked but I can't get the scanner to function. When I insert the film holder it will go in a short distance and then eject. Does anyone have a suggestion?
I have a Scan Dual III which now works with this fix under Windows 7 - many thanks!
Just out of interest, where does one learn to program something like this?
Absolute genius! Thanks so much. So many folks say they have a solution but turns out they don't. Yours worked perfectly. Thanks again.
Will this fix work on Windows 10?

I solved this problem by using VirtualBox to create a virtual disk in Vista, install XP inside it, and install minolta dimage scan dual with its drivers. It works perfectly ( and can use it for other software that needs XP ). After that, just share the scaned jpeg with Vista.
To Carl Schulz: No manual but this link I found helpful to clean mine. Dusting Under the Hood of Konica Minolta Dimage Scan Dual IV Film...
Does anyone have a service manual for a Minolta Dimage Scan dual IV? I think I have dust on a mirror or lens and seed to take it apart. Having the service manual will make it a lot easier.
Sony newer owned, nor ownes Konica Minolta!

I have the same problem
I want to install Dimage Scan Dual IV van Konica Minolta under Vista
Exactly the same. No TWAIN driver for Vista. No support from Sony who now own Konica-Minolta. Scanner can be resuscitated by downloading VueScan (but you have to pay for it).
George from Aberdeen
New computer has Vista operating system that does not allow dimage scanner to initialise
How would this fix need to modifed to be used with Windows 7 32 bit OS when one is installing a Dimage Scan Dual IV on the system?
Need some clarification from KainAnderson on exactly how to do this. I'm a little confused and need help.
