Digital BW, The Print

I did get the firewire and installed it.  Finally, and even though I 
had looked at the diagram a dozen times, I switched the position of 
the outside lock, and the scanner started working.
 
Now, my probem is that I cannot get a scan of the plates.  I have 
tried using the OEM software, SiliverFast, and VueScan, which I have 
downloaded.  I am using a B & W negative setting, as I don't know 
whatr else to use; but I have tried other settings as well.  Nothing 
seems to bring up an image.  
 
Any suggestions?
 
I am not offended at anything, because sometimes it takes a fresh 
look at things to get it right.
