hp ScanJet 5300 and Windows xp

I have been trying to find a solution which will allow xp
to recognise my ScanJet 5300C and noticed that rayfree
had a similar problem in 2010.

My computer crashed on the 28th December due to a faulty lead
on my video card, and although the scanner was always crashing before
that, it did at least work.

Now I get the error message 'You may have a scanner connected to your PC,
but HP Precision scan was unable to locate it.'

Can anyone help, I'm not very good with all this stuff. Thanks.
