Often with any software I find that the amount of film edge before the first frame starts is critical. It needs to be short, and don't trim the corners. I did that for a while for filing ease but found it caused problems. See how you go trimming the film end square and short, then I can offer help on my settings as well. (The software is the same). (Or Skype me for an explanation???)

I have not touched it for about 9 months and I'm remembering why. Last time I tried to get on top of it by buying "VueScan", and I have just updated to the latest version BUT good as it may be I am stumped by the first negative file I put in. Problem one: When I put the film in the scanner, it advances but not far enough, so that the preview includes too much blank air and therefore the scan is incomplete. With the Nikon software I could manually adjust the starting position for the preview, but I cannot find it in VueScan. My litany of other problems are mainly to do with what settings to use to get a really high quality scan, but we can come to those if I could align the negative with the preview.
