Ann, I have the 1640 too. While I haven't scanned the Gold 100 film, I have used it a lot with Portra 400 VC which scans quite nicely.
One problem I have run into sometimes is that adjustments from previous scans sticks. So I have to reset the box by clicking either the Reset or Auto button to get a reasonable starting point. Another problem was that for some configurations of colour profiles, the scanner preview window would look substantially different from photoshop. Hope this could be some useful leads...
