I suppose the first question would be - is it your software or your scanner drivers that are crashing .. a number of scanners won't work/work poorly in XP because the model is no longer supported, or the manufacturer is no longer around.
Now if your scanner works properly and you have OfficeXP - you can scan directly into office apps - images or text recognition.
If you need additional software, i agree with Ernest ... Omnipage Pro 11 and Adobe Photo Deluxe are a great combination.
But if your drivers don't work .. you'll need to invest those software $$ in a new scanner - which may not be a bad idea in the first place. $75 to $100 buys a good scanner (much better than what you likely have) and you should get a good software pac with it too.
That's my two cents.
