Found frame borders are not aligned with negatives

I use SilverFast SE 8, for Epson V800. When I click the option "Find frames" for 35mm film strip, then the found frames are not aligned with the negatives, but all over the place. As I put just on strip of 4 images in the holder, the program detects 10 frames, randomly spread all over.
I just have purchased this scanner with SilverFast software. If I have to align all the frames to every singel negative image, then it would be a monks work.
How to solve this problem? So that the program see the negative strip as separate images, align the frames on them, and apply the same adjustments to all images.

Dear user,

Please install the latest SilverFast 8.8 update.
This happens because the version you are using is outdated.


Kind regards,
Arne

Dear Arne,

Thank you for your help. I did not had registered the program, that's why it did not updated itself. Now I have the newest version.
The program makes the frames on the negatives. But these frames are still not perfectly aligned with the images. The frames are out of the borders and are smaller than the images. So I have to still adjust each frame by hand. Is this normal for SilverFast, or am I doing something wrong?
If I have to adjust each frame by hand, then it will take double amount of time to scan all of my negative strips.

Dear user,

The preview used for the frame finding has a lower resolution then the final scan so the frames might be off a little.
For more precise settings you will have to zoom in and correct the frame by hand.

Kind regards,
Arne
