NRU, have a look at Canon-Europe
here and drill down to the driver download page for your machine.
Choose the Windows 2000 drivers (90% of these work with XP).
Create a restore point in case things get fouled up (Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories > System Restore).
Look in your System Devices list and delete any Canon Scanners listed or unknown devices that match your scanner.
Disconnect the scanner data cable.
Install the driver - if XP gives a hardware message - choose continue.
Power up and connect your scanner - you may need to direct the driver installer to the Win 2000 section of wherever the downloaded Canon software extracted your files to and repeat the install process.
Good Luck!
