I have a similar problem with my now-ancient, but still usable, HP ScanJet
4c. Vuescan is a standalone program that installs its own drivers and
probably has a driver for your software. I installed Vuescan on my Vista
Business system and it works great with my old HP scanner. The only
downside is that I can only scan from within the program -- I can't use the
scanner under things like Word and Photoshop. Still, it's better than
trashing an otherwise-perfectly good scanner.
