What operating system are you using?

My Primax Colorado 9600 USB works well enough with a Pentium 233MHz
processor and 64Mb RAM.  This running Windows98 Second Edition.

The scanner works using IrfanView  I_view32, (free download)
or Adobe PhotoDeluxe Home edition 3.0
as well as the Primax software supplied.
The PrimaPAGE 98 OCR works reasonably well, but there are probably
better software programmes if you are prepared to pay for them.
