I've just acquired an old Primax Photo Organiser and would like to use it, but I'm not able to find any drivers for it to have it work on my Windows XP system.
Does anyone have this device and possibly software or driver for it? The Primax site doesn't seem to offer much help, apart from the fact that they state to use the Windows 2000 driver, which I can neither find.
Any help appreciated.

You knew that ! ;)
Primax are one of these companies that sells things under different names/ descriptions in different market places .. so what it got sold as in the uk say, mighn't be what they sold it as in the usa .. look at this page
If its not there then mail them for 'legacy' drivers giving them whatever model number, rather than its 'market place name' ;)
You might also like to have a 'mooch' here (Visioneer Imaging) which is yet another lot of names I think these got sold as, for anything with the same model number & or description & specs (as it probably is 'really' the same thing)..
& in my windrivers role as 'teh Greeter' .. :D - Welcome to Windrivers bibbi :thumbs:
Thanks so far guys!
On the Primax site I found a model called "Colormobile Direct" which seems to be the same as what I have, except mine comes with a mount for scanning photos. Unfortunately nothing else than the model name is supplied anywhere! No serial number or nothing. Not even on the equipment itself, the box or the manual.
Visioneer doesn't seem to have similar models to mine.
I have used the driver for "Colormobile Direct" mentioned above, the latest version which is a driver for Win 95/98. Using Irfanview to select the Twain source and try to scan an image will bring up the software supplied by Primax for scanning, but then I get an "the scanner is not responding, please check if it is connected properly" error.
Although the driver setup did let me calibrate the device, but only during setup. The calibration option from the device software doesn't work but crashes the program.
So, I'm still at a loss for a solution, but not giving up yet.
