FilmScan 35 XP driver

[Phil Newman]

Hi,

I recently bought a Microtek FilmScan 35 slide/film scanner, which I
was told was compatible with XP.

However, the drivers on the cd provided with the scanner only work for
win95/98, and when I try to install them, they corrupt my TWAIN
drivers, and corrupt my PC.

I can't find a suitable XP driver on the internet, and Microtek no
longer support the scanner.

Does anyone know how I can fix this, or have a suitable XP driver for
the scanner?

Thanks,

Phil

If Microtek does not have drivers for the scanner and it doesn't work
with XP, return it and buy a scanner that does work with XP.

What is the actual Model name/number you have, a Microtek search comes up null
using FilmScan 35.
