I prefer this method to scanning the whole strip and cropping individual frames since not every frame is worth keeping and I can have serially numbered keepers without having to rename the files. I tried using VueScan, but I could not get the dizzying number of options to work for me within a reasonable period of time. Windows Vista: Click > Control Panel > Uninstall a Program (located under Programs), or click > Control Panel and then double-click the Programs and Features icon. Disconnect the scanner’s USB cable from your computer. Delete any unwanted and then select All before scanning. Turn off the scanner using its power switch. Then duplicate the frame, move it and repeat. After the preview, a marquee frame of that size appears next to the images. I set and locked the image size to 28x28mm. This helps to keep the film (convex side down) from popping up over the ledge of the cardboard. I attached a strip of heavy paper as long as four frames to the right edge with just enough overlap to cover the sprocket edges. I made a cardboard strip 3.5" wide and 12" long and attached it with masking tape to the left edge of the bed. I am using a V500 photo with the Epson software (updated to 3.74A) in "professional" mode. These are 30+ year old photos that initially were not of super high quality, so I am not worried about perfectly exact framing or film curl. As Jack Fisher noted, one needs to delineate each frame manually. Just found some old 126 film strips and this was helpful.
