Driver for Agfa Snapscan 1212u to work with Mac OS 10.4.11

Since obtaining Mac OS 10.4.11 I've been unable to get a driver that works for my Agfa Snapscan 1212u flatbed scanner. I've downloaded one for OSX from <http://static.agfa.com/digicamscanner_drivers/scanner/snapscan1212u/index.html> but when I try to open it get the message "the file is not a movie". Can anyone help? The scanner itself worked well until with an earlier OS.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

The message could be a result of you selecting the wrong file format when scanning or the drivers you downloaded are too old and incompatible with your Mac - even if you are running Tiger.

I suggest you look at downloading and installing [VueScan|http://www.hamrick.com>. Your scanner is listed as a supported model and if you do ever update to Snow Leopard then this software will let you keep the scanner.

One last point. This is the Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) forum. You should have posted this question on the [Tiger (OS X 10.4)|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=756] forum.
