Scanner Driver for Win XP

[Dan]

I installed Windows XP on my home PC; I have an Optrox
PhotoMaker 3F scanner that does not have a Win XP driver
and the manufacturer no longer exists. Is there a
particular scanner listed in the drop-down menu of
scanners that is close enough to the 3F to work? Do I
have any options besides replacement of the scanner?
Thanks for the help!

Hello

Option 1 replace
Option 2 try using a win2k driver
If that does not work, go back to option one, always check
and research before upgrading to make sure that all your devices
will support the new OS

None whatsoever, I'm afraid...

Hi, Dan.

When all else fails, Google!

Google finds 3600 hits for "optrox", including this one:
How to Make your Optrox Photomaker 3E or 3F Scanner Work in Windows_XP
http://web.tampabay.rr.com/hoyworld/Optrox/optrox.html

I have no idea if it will work, but it's a starting point.
