Imacon Flextight on Windows 10

[Kaare]

I have an Imacon Flextight 646 which has been run on a PC with Windows 7 Pro. I have now upgraded to Windows 10 - and the computer can no longer see the scanner.
When I hit the preview button in the FlexColor scanner software (v4.8.9) I get a scanner not found message.

I have tried all the tricks I can think of:
Changing the FireWire cable
Changing the FireWire card in the PC
Checking the drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers
Uninstalling and reinstalling the Flexcolor software

Also I have checked scanner itself by plugging it on to a PC normally running an Imacon 848 on The same Flexcolor software and an older version of Windows. I just plugged in the FireWire cable and was ready to go.... So the scanner itself is OK.

Are there anyone who have encountered and hopefully solved a similar problem?

Best regards

No experience with the scanner but it could be FireWire drivers.

You could try https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2970191 and download the legacy 1394 driver.  After installation make sure that you check in with Device Manager that scanner is seen without any yellow exclamation marks.  You may have to browse and select driver from list manually

Good luck
