There is no "fix." What you need is a driver for his scanner for Windows XP.
Depending on what model he has, there may or may not be a driver available.
If the scanner is old enough, there probably is not one.

Go to the UMAX web site www.umax.com and look for a XP driver for his model.
Check the UK UMAX site as well as the US one. Curiously, when I had a UMAX
scanner several years ago, I found an XP driver for it on the UK site, but
not on the US one.

If the Umax scanner is of the parallel/SCSI type, forget it.. if USB, you
may find a driver that will work.. bear in mind that even if you find a
driver, the 'control' program will not be part of it..

New scanners are cheap enough, and will save a lot of heartache..

The OP is looking for drivers that will work with an existing scanner, not a
scanner that will work with existing drivers..
