You might want to search the manufacturers website for XP drivers.

Download the old drivers to your desktop,right click the .exe file,select properties, click on compatibility tab,select run as win98 (or whatever),and off you should go.

You might get away with using Win 2000 drivers.

There are supposed to be instructions at:
http://www.primax.nl/documents/xpmedocs/19200english.htm
But I get no response from the server when I try to look at this page.

If you use the latest version of the page from the Wayback machine then this gives instructions. You basically have to fiddle around with the Windows 200 drivers.
