Looking for specific software for my Film Scanner

[HardWired]

Hello everyone.
I am searching for anyone who uses a Minolta Dimage Scan Dual 3 Film Scanner with an Updated version of the DS Dual3 Scan Utility on Windows 10 and knows where to get or has the updated software for it to run on Windows 10. Yes it is out there someplace.

I know it does work on Windows 10 because I did have the updated version of the DS Dual3 Scan Utility software until about a week ago when my Hard Drive failed in my computer and I did not have a back up of it. Yes, I know. Lesson learned.

I am not looking for any other software like Vuescan or Silverfast. I have searched the internet and found pages that say they have the latest drivers but they actually don't. And also could not find it on Konika/Minolta's site.

I have also tried to install the old software and run it in Compatibility mode, but that did not work. I can run it on Windows XP, but that is a pain in the butt.

So, I am hoping someone can help me.

I will cross post this too.

Thanks in advance.

Minolta does not support their old scanners. You will have to go with a secondary software. I use Vuescan for my Nikon Coolscan and it works great.

Not to be rude. But did you read my post? I did have an "Updated Version" of the old software DS Dual3 Scan Utility that did run on Windows 10. It is out there someplace. No, Minolta does not support the old scanners. I don't know the link where I got it from, but it was probably from a third party who updated the old software and drivers. If I could get into my dead hard drive I wouldn't be searching for this software. And I don't want to go and purchase Vuescan.

Your potential course of action is two-way street.
